THE WRIGHT SOLUTIONS' BLOG
Imagine you are keenly looking for work and prepared and able to drop back to an admin role, step sideways in to a team leader role or get promoted to a managerial/director role. You live in Leeds; have family in Birmingham and a holiday home in Exeter. Yes you can absolutely apply for the 6 or 7 jobs you saw advertised by one national recruiter and you can do so confidently and with justification.
BUT what does the process look like to that recruiter when they look at the system and see you have applied for 7 jobs at levels from HR Director to HR Administrator in Stafford, Birmingham, Wakefield and Bristol.
It might look confused, random and badly thought out. And even though you have written a cover letter that explains your situation as clearly as you can the recruiter may not be able to see it, or may not have the time to read it (they have 30-40 other applicants to respond to as well). There is a chance therefore that they might prefer to look at the candidate who seems to have taken a more thoughtful approach to their job hunt!
Look at it another way though. You have just seen 6-7 jobs advertised by 1 agency and they are all of relevance to you. Are they then not the perfect agency to be talking to and building a relationship with?
What stops you picking up the phone to say, “I am looking for a job. I notice that you have about 7 that might be of relevance. Can I talk to you about my situation and see whether they might suit”.
