Dear Nicky,

I am mostly a candidate recruiter and look through the jobs carefully to see where I can lend a hand. I notice a lot of members do not fill in the Private Notes To Members. This information is really important to me, and can make the difference for me if I work a job or not. Just wanted to share that with the job recruiters, because I don't think I'm the only one looking for this.

Dear Reader,

Thanks for sharing. Job recruiters should absolutely provide Private Notes. Use this field to demonstrate your relationship with this client. Why is the client hiring? How long has the position been open? What is the client’s history of making decisions? Sell members on why their candidates would want to work for this company. What is the company culture? What is attractive about the industry or the location of the company? This also lets your NPAworldwide partners know that you have a bona fide role as well as a direct client relationship. This kind of information sharing boosts your reputation as a value-focused trading partner and will help lead to additional splits.

Nicky
