Get to know Raul better 👇 1️⃣ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫? Back in university, when I worked as a sales manager at Southwestern Advantage, part of my job was recruiting students for the summer program. I landed my current role at the end of 2019 when my good friend Priit introduced me to headhunting, something he had already been doing for nearly two years. Since I’ve always loved sales and connecting with great people, I decided to give it a shot—and I was positively surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Even after five years, I’m still loving it! 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬? No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, there’s always a solution. Focus and thinking outside the box lead to success. 3️⃣ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟? Every time a client tells me they’re amazed at how I managed to find the perfect person for their team, or when a candidate thanks me for helping them land an exciting job—it’s an incredibly proud moment. 4️⃣ 𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫? We’ve had quite a few awesome gatherings, but two that stand out are our recent group cooking session at Toiduakadeemia and last summer’s spearfishing trip at Lake Saadjärv. 5️⃣ 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫? To work out regularly and dunk a basketball again by the end of the year—for the first time in over 15 years! 😎 #SWR #SouthwesternRecruitment #recruitmentpartner

TIP💡Stay ahead and avoid last-minute hiring pressure. Our recruiters have seen multiple cases where a client says there’s no hiring need at the moment, only to call back a week or two later with an urgent request due to increased workload or expansion opportunities.

𝐓𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘: 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 💵 Discussing salary during the job interview may feel uncomfortable for most of us, but when the timing and preparation are right, you can present your expected salary rate confidently. 1️⃣ The right time? We recommended to wait until the employer brings up the topic. If they don't, it’s appropriate to ask about salary after you have a clear understanding of the job responsibilities. 2️⃣ Your salary expectations should be … … the combination of industry average salaries and evaluation of your experience and skills. Also, consider the company size and location, as these impact salary offers. 3️⃣ Should you always negotiate? If the offered salary aligns with your expectations and the job provides other valuable benefits, like flexibility, career growth opportunities, etc., negotiation may not be necessary. It’s important to assess the entire package, not just the salary. 4️⃣ But if you do, consider this: Be prepared to justify your salary expectations based on your experience and achievements. Keep room for flexibility if the employer can't meet your desired salary - the focus should still be on the full package, not just the billings. Confident and successful salary negotiations! 🚀 #SWR #southwesternrecruitment #recruitingtips
