Lisa brings a unique perspective to our discussion, drawing from her extensive experience as an Executive Search Recruiter. Her current collaborations with recruiters, her role as a LinkedIn Moderator expert, and her ownership of an Executive resume-writing firm staffed by former HR and Recruiting professionals further enhance her qualifications.
Here are a few of her takeaways:
- The first thing a legitimate, reputable executive recruiter will never ask of executive candidates is to be paid. Legit, reputable executive recruiters are paid by their client companies, which contract them to find talent.
- You have to execute the job search yourself. That means you have to network. This means you need to post your resume for specific job openings. You must send your resume to executive recruiters and network with them accordingly. Most hires happen through networking.
- If you think you’ll have to find a way to avoid doing the job search, you may be susceptible to buying into a scam.
I created “The Job Scam Report” for those who want to learn more about avoiding scams and for victims to get support for their next steps. The site includes articles and resources, free and paid options, a community of people taking proactive steps to avoid and get rid of scammers, and an exclusive podcast.
