Recruiter

As a well known recruitment to recruitment

If you are, the world could well be your oyster.
A focus on one area that you become the ‘go to’
desk
for will bring many
rewards and not just
financial.

Recruiter

Recruiting in niche markets can offer a whole
range of challenges and opportunities that you
don’t get in more general recruitment roles.
Niche recruiting puts you in the interesting and
unique position of being an extension of the
industry you recruit for, letting you be part of that
world.
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

Here are four ways to know that you are built to be
a niche recruiter:
1. You Love Recruiting, but
You Feel Connected to
another Industry
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

 You really enjoy the daily work of a recruitment
consultant
 However, you are consciously or
subconsciously
drawn to another industry sector.
This is a big sign you should focus your
recruitment
career on that niche, and combine your interests!

2. You Know All About Your Industry, But Want
to Do Something Different
 you have been working in
an industry for a long time
 you are incredibly
knowledgeable about it
 but you want to do a
different job
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

 You have thought about recruitment yet you
have never explored what was involved.
 You perhaps want a career where you get to
engage with more people, or where you have
the opportunity to use selling skills and earn
commission, but you don’t want to feel that the
time you spent in your current industry has been
wasted.
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

This could be a sign that you could successfully
make the move into niche recruitment for your old
industry, because you have such a strong
understanding of the kind of jobs and people there
as well as a good network behind you.

3. You Find It Easy To Empathize With Other
People’s Work Challenges
 When you talk to
• friends
• clients
• strangers

about their jobs, you find it really easy to put yourself
in their place and understand the challenges facing
them
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

 A niche recruiter has to be able to know the
business they recruit for inside out, and really
identify with the type of people who would be
able to meet the needs that business has.
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter
 If you naturally empathize with other people when
they talk about work that you have never actually
done yourself, you’ll be able to think like a part of
the niche industry you recruit in.
The ability to connect like this with people is a real
skill and one that is rewarded well in recruitment.

4. You Are Most Comfortable When You Know
All the Details
 Some people are good
at ad libbing, or thinking
at the high level where
specifics and details
aren’t important.
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter

 If this isn’t you, and you feel most confident
and comfortable when you know everything
about what you are dealing with, then niche
recruiting will suit you better than a broader
recruitment role.
4 Ways To Know You Were Born To Be A Niche
Recruiter
Niche recruiters get to know the kind of roles they
recruit for at a close level, and can talk to candidates
and clients in detail about specific qualifications, skills
and responsibilities relating to those roles with almost
as much understanding as the candidates themselves
will be expected to have.
