Related Question Answers
Should I contact a headhunter?
I recommend contacting headhunters by email. It's easy for the headhunter to answer in her own time, it allows her to add your resume to the database even if she never responds to you, and it isn't as intrusive as a phone call.
Should I use a recruiter or apply directly?
If you are junior or you are switching role/industry, we often recommend you apply directly. It's rare that companies will use a recruiter for junior level roles so directly managing your job search is highly recommend for candidates with less than two years of proven experience.
