Accessing the Hidden Job Market
February 28, 2011
More than 80% of jobs are filled outside of job postings and recruiters. These “hidden” jobs go to the people who get in front of decision-makers early in the hiring process before the job gets widely distributed and much more competitive. Learn what happens behind-the-scenes in the hiring process from Caroline Ceniza-Levine, a former recruiter who has hired thousands of people for leading firms in banking, consulting, media, non-profit, pharma/ biotech, and technology. Learn strategies to find the decision-makers, engage them with your unique background, and then stay “front-of-mind” to the real end of the hiring process (hint: the search doesn’t end at the offer).
