Recruiters play an important role in any job search, but it isn’t always a matter of blindly sending out resumes in hopes of landing your dream job. For this podcast, Fred Coon interviews Andrew Ko, an executive recruiter with the Lucas Group, who explains how job seekers can learn to actually help their recruiters assist them better in their employment quest for maximum results.
Fred Coon, CEO, Stewart Cooper & Coon, and Andrew Ko — both experienced recruiters — engage in a meaningful discussion about how job seekers of all levels can improve their chances of consideration when working with recruiters.
