These are important communication tools for sure, but sometimes it is a good idea to pick up the phone (or video camera) and call your headhunter to keep your job search going. Be professional and courteous, and make a point to say something nice to let your headhunter know that you care and that you appreciate his or her efforts to find you a job. Remember that headhunters are people too! This helps you to remain high in the job candidate queue and you will be more likely to be remembered when your headhunter comes across a job that would be a good match for you. As the old saying goes, 'out of sight, out of mind' which is not what you want to do when looking for your next dream job!

Note: While connecting with one of our headhunters please be sure to keep it short and professional.
