FAQ's:
Top 10 Questions Candidates Ask Recruiters — And the Answers That Can Help You Succeed
1. What’s the best way to stand out in my application?
To make your application stand out, tailor your CV or résumé to each role you apply for. Highlight achievements that show measurable impact — such as how you improved a process, increased sales, or supported a successful project. Recruiters and hiring managers love to see evidence of results and a clear link between your skills and the role’s requirements.
2. How can I prepare for an interview?
Preparation makes all the difference. Research the company — learn about its mission, values, and recent achievements. Review the job description carefully, and think about examples from your own experience that demonstrate how you meet those requirements. Practise answering common interview questions, but also prepare thoughtful questions of your own. It shows genuine interest and confidence - Take a look at our Blog "Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail..."
3. What should I highlight in my résumé?
Focus on what’s most relevant to the role. That includes your key skills, achievements, and experiences that demonstrate value. Whenever possible, quantify your results — numbers help tell your story. For example, “increased client retention by 20%” says more than “improved client relationships.” Keep your layout clean and easy to read, and lead with your strongest points.
4. Is it okay to negotiate salary?
Salary negotiation is a normal part of the hiring process but shouldn't be part of your initial interview. It is something that is discussed once an offer has been made and if you're using a recruitment agency like ourselves, leave that side of things to us!
5. How can I effectively network?
Networking is one of the most powerful tools in your career toolkit. Start by connecting with people in your field on LinkedIn, joining relevant groups, and attending industry events. Engage meaningfully — comment on posts, share insights, and follow up with people you meet. Don’t hesitate to connect with recruiters too; we often know about opportunities that aren’t yet advertised.
6. What’s the expected timeline after an interview?
Timelines can vary depending on the company and the role. As a general rule, if you haven’t heard back within about a week, it’s perfectly fine to send a polite follow-up email. Keep in mind that delays often happen due to internal processes rather than your performance. As Recruiters, we will keep you updated as soon as we have news.
7. How important are cover letters?
While not every employer requires one, a cover letter is a great way to add a personal touch to your application. It gives you the chance to explain why you’re interested in the role and how your background aligns with the company’s goals. If you’re changing industries or have unique experience, a cover letter can really help connect the dots for employers.
8. What’s the best way to address employment gaps?
Be open and honest, but keep it positive and concise. Focus on what you gained or learned during the gap — whether that was studying, volunteering, freelancing, or developing new skills. Gaps are increasingly common, and most employers care more about what you bring to the table now than what you were doing a year or two ago.
9. How can I make a career change smoothly?
Career changes are becoming more common than ever, and recruiters can be a huge help during this transition. Emphasise your transferable skills — the strengths and experiences that apply across industries. Consider taking a short course, certification, or side project to build credibility in your new area. Networking and working with a recruiter who understands your goals will make the process smoother.
10. How important is it to have a stable CV?
Very! Employers take stability in a job very seriously. If they're going to invest their time and money in to welcoming you into their business and training you to do the job, they want to know you're going to stick around! When they see CV's where a candidate has jumped around every 6 months, it makes them wonder why. - Take a look at our Blog "Is your CV Becoming a Bit too Jumpy?"
