Research, research, research and more research.
Sending out job application after job application and researching each company in-depth might sound like a colossal waste of time.
There are three key moments in the recruitment process where it pays dividends to have researched the company you're applying for.
Let's break it down...
✅ Before applying - Rather than wasting your time on an application for a job that's a bad fit, researching an employer's mission, values, working conditions, and employee reviews will all quickly tell you if an opportunity is worth pursuing.
✅ While applying – To increase your chances of being shortlisted or invited to interview, you're going to want to tailor your resume and application to the business you're applying for. Whether its mentioning specific skills outlined in the job description or showing that you share in their company values, it's an easy way to make a stronger first impression.
✅ During your interview – No matter the role you're applying for, the industry you're in, or the amount of experience you have, we'd wager a bet that every single interview you have will include the question, "Why this company?", "What do you know about us?" or something similar.
Doing your research ahead of time allows you to show familiarity with the organization's mission and values and will show the hiring team you're serious about the company.
When do you typically complete research into the companies you apply for? Before applying or pre-interview?
