Want to maximize your job search? Think like a recruiter

If you are looking for a job, you are likely spending a lot of time perusing job boards and staying on top of the latest vacancy announcements. While applying to jobs is an important aspect of any job search, what you may not know is many positions are never even advertised.

Whether it’s because they are under a time crunch, do not have the capacity to sift through potentially hundreds of applications or are afraid of signaling to competitors when they are hiring for a proposal, many employers do not advertise all of their open positions. Instead, many of them turn to resources like Devex to proactively find and recruit candidates they think will be a good fit for their needs.
