Headhunter Experience here in Australia...

wizardofOz

@pinoykiwi_inOZ if one gets a response pala of not having "local experience"... might as well not wallow on it and take it litterally coz it could be due to myriad of reasons lang..

just be better than your last application and move on to the next job prospect...

<blockquote rel="pinoykiwi_inOZ">I ask a pinay who works as head hunter and a close friend of mine then I asked an Australian head hunter that give me my current work. This is what they said "Local experience" is recruitment manager's excuse for lots of stuff. Like your CV didn't matches the potential employers JD, you're over/under qualified, we can't find the potential JD keywords in your CV, you are not cultural fit in the company and she said the worst is we just don't want to hire you.</blockquote>

Good revelation🙂

I also experienced some BS stuff...mag-start na dapat ako work on the first week of arrival here thru a manpower agency...everything is good na then apparently, sabi ni agent e hinde na daw itutuloy nung company ang pag-hire ng manpower sa kanila...

then, supposedly to work at a big time supermarket, in one of their warehouse near the airport...oks naman ung interview at pinapili lang ng schedule roster...then schedule na rin ng medical...ang daming pinagawa dun sa medical, since the role is somewhat involves lifting and standing for a long time...oks naman, nagawa ko naman ang lahat; including lifting weights (20kg), push-ups, some exercises, etc...then i just waited for the HR to call kung kelan mag-start, pero hinde na tumawag...so ako na yung tumawag to follow-up...apparently, sabi nung HR na hinde na daw nila ako tatangapin kase daw e mataas daw ung BMI (Body Mass Index)...so i argued, sabi ko na nagawa ko naman lahat nung pinagawa dun sa medical...but still, ayaw pa rin nila ako tanggapin...so uminit ang ulo ko at sabi ko sa HR kuno nila na "you should have put it in your ad! (re: BMI)"

***sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko..."Its their lost not mine!" at syempre, sana malugi sila! bwahahaha :-)

In my experience on headhunters, I am so lucky kse mabait at masipag maghanap ng work para skin yung headhunter ko. I got my first job related to my skills thru this head hunter and it was a 6 months contract but she never stop looking for a permanent job for me. and the thing is hinahanapan nya tlga ako ng work na swak tlga sa previous work experience ko and same industry. Just before I finished my 6 months contract job she found another one again and suppose to be it was an on going contract then after 4 months I got permanent which the company where I am working now paid that recruitment company around $10k for me to get permanent and not anymore with that recruitment company.

IslanderndCity

@SYD_CPA @glaiza1210 thanks and I'd like to clarify, pumunta kayo sa office ng Hays? or thru skills for all nyo sila na-met?

iba ibang klase headhunters, may nangongolekta lang ng resume kahit wala pa clients kunwari may opening, meron din mas interesado kung ano anong company ka natapos maginterview para siguro masulot nila ung ibang headhunters sa clients na un, meron din inaalam company background mo kung magkano sweldo at kapag nabakante ka baka magapply as outside recruiter sa company mo, meron din matino at tutulungan ka talaga, meron makulit, meron matampuhin at kapag hindi ka nainterview ng oras na un dahil bigla sya tumawag eh hindi na tatawag, etc. dami ganyan dito sa SG lols

@IslanderndCity Tinawagan ako ng hays then they invite me for an interview not sure if may inapplyan ako sa open jobs nila sa seek au that time or sa linked in nila nakita profile ko. I went to their office for an interview naging honest nman yung naginterview skin na wala pa silang opening that time pero once na meron at swak sa experience they will call me and promise nya skin na hahanapan nya ko ng work mapa casual contract or permanent man basta may work. Tinanong din nya ko kung mas anong type ng work gusto ko from my work expereinces para dun daw sya magfocus maghanap at itry daw nya makahanap ng similar companies/industries na pinasukan ko. Which is definitely nagawa nya in both jobs they gave me 🙂 lahat ng inapplyan ko sa seek au walang tumawag skin, sa email nagreply puro rejection letters...Hays lang tlga tumawag skin. Swerte din tlga kse sabi ng headhunter ko bihira daw tlga sila nagiinterview ng walang local experience, pero nung nakita nya daw CV ko she decided to invite me for an interview kse very competitive daw work experiences and puro multi-national companies pinanggalingan ko.

SYD_CPA

Sakto. Ganun na ganun din saken @glaiza1210. goodluck sateng dalawa. 🙂

IslanderndCity

@glaiza1210 thanks. Did you add a one-line brief intro about sa companies mo n your resume? And mention multi-national company?

glaiza1210

@IslanderndCity nope I did'nt put any intro about my previous companies, it's just she really knew the companies I've worked before and those companies are also here in australia, clients din nila.

IslanderndCity

@glaiza1210 great! Thanks. So dun nalang sa Skills part and the use of various systems ang emphasize sa CV ko.
