Reaching Out to My Recruiter for New Opportunities
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking some guidance. I’ve been in my current position for about a year and a few months, and I owe my success in securing this role to an outstanding recruiter.
As I’m now looking to transition to a new opportunity, I’m considering whether it would be a good idea to reach out to the recruiter who helped me before.
What do you think is the general sentiment from recruiters about this? I’m thinking that since he’s already familiar with my skills and background, he might be able to assist me in finding a new role more efficiently.
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Update: After reading through all the comments, I’ve decided to reach out. I appreciate everyone’s input!

Professional Courtesy: Recruiters appreciate when candidates keep them informed about their career moves. It shows professionalism and keeps you on their radar for future opportunities.
Be Clear About Your Goals: When you reach out, be specific about what you’re looking for in your next role. This will help the recruiter understand how they can assist you effectively.
Express Gratitude: Don’t forget to thank them for their previous support in securing your current role. A little appreciation goes a long way!
Stay Open to Feedback: The recruiter might have insights on the market, your CV, or even advice on how to improve your job search strategy.
Overall, reconnecting with your recruiter can be beneficial as you transition to your next opportunity. Best of luck with your job search!
