Recruiter advice: getting the most from recruiters

How candidates and hiring teams can work with recruiters for faster, better outcomes.

4 min read

For candidates

  • Keep your profile current — skills, location, work authorization and whether you're open to work.
  • Be clear about compensation expectations and deal-breakers early.
  • Reply promptly, even to decline. Recruiters remember professionalism.

For hiring teams

  • Write job posts with a clear title, salary range, location/remote policy and must-have vs. nice-to-have skills.
  • Respond to applicants within a week — top candidates move fast.
  • Use a structured interview loop with consistent questions and scorecards.

Employers can post a job and track every applicant in the GoTechJob dashboard.
