5 Best Tips to Boost Recruiter’s Personal Branding!

A Recruiter is the face of the organization, the first touch-point for Hiring management-related activities. Creating a good impression before candidates as well as peers and industry leaders will go a long way in enhancing your brand as a recruiter.

Here is how you can invest in yourself to build your brand:

• Concentrate on your strengths: With so many recruiters vying for the same candidates and opportunities, standing apart from the crowd takes a big effort. Play to your strengths and develop further expertise around them. Build knowledge and research repositories to develop your expertise or niche. So, you are the go-to person for candidates, colleagues, and others to seek support and advice.

• Connect without boundaries: Stay updated and active on all online and offline platforms such as networking sites, industry forums, and blogs, job portals, etc. Reach out to people from your field and allied fields. Create or curate content such as blogs, videos or infographics to explain your thoughts and opinions, give tips and advice to candidates or share your success stories like how you have, in the past, enabled candidates to create an aspirational career path.

• Customize your brand: Just getting connected or networking is not enough. Making meaningful and personalized conversations happen is what will help people remember you. For online conversation, have a consistent presence and engagement across many social media platforms. Follow up online conversations with an offline discussion where you get to know the person for who he/she is. Scout for common topics or provide recommendations in your area of expertise as a small takeaway for the acquaintance. Relationships are thus built on genuine and professional camaraderie.

• Showcase your track record: Focus on your career chart – keep a track record of your achievements, promotions, experience and other activities. Update your career profile on LinkedIn or other networking/career sites, making sure it looks neat and professional.

• Create a professional demeanor: Try to build an aura that speaks distinctly about you when people interact with you or talk about you. For instance, be polite in all your interactions, dress smartly, reply to emails promptly, be organized and tidy in your work, maintain a friendly yet firm body language, etc.

Creating a brand is about being admired not only for professional skills but for the person you are!
