Unadvertised Opportunities

RLS provides meaningful information about unadvertised opportunities, current openings, decision-makers, growth and spot opportunities.

The key to greater access is to circumvent HR and bring solutions directly to decision-makers. RLS provides opportunities which are at the intersection of an urgent or anticipated organizational need before job postings or placement endeavors.

The RLS approach generates quality interviews with key decision-makers:
  Reduces competition, thereby enhancing your market value
  Delivers maximum targeted exposure in the marketplace
  Creates an opportunity for a custom-made job description
  Market intel allows RLS clients to become solutions-providers to the employers' exact needs

During a recession, high unemployment means you face off against top competitors with more experience who are willing to take less money.

    HeadHunter - 0.27%

 

Spot opportunities are an important component of the unadvertised job market particularly for a candidate who represents the solution at the beginning of the hiring process. A spot opportunity exists for a limited time only.

Since many of the specific positions aren’t yet filled or fully defined, jobseekers have the opportunity to communicate to the organization’s hiring management. There’s still in-house competition, but it’s minimal because costly placement or advertisement activity hasn’t begun.

This approach increases your marketability because companies respond to candidates who show a sincere and specific desire to work for them. Direct employer-to-candidate interaction saves companies time and money, quite often resulting in higher starting salaries.

The more important aspects of the tasks to be acquired through hiring, are usually designed to be first solidified informally by the company. Later, the company fills in ‘what’s left,’ usually with postings. Paid placement activity is considerably decreased in a down-turned economy. Companies are reluctant to spend fees unless the hiring is critical, and then only with someone already proven in that exact position.
 

Take the first step and    today in strict confidence.
