How to Collaborate with Recruiters?
Hi everyone! As a career coach with a following of over 500k on Instagram, I’m looking to expand my outreach by partnering with recruiters. I can provide them access to a pool of qualified candidates tailored to their needs.
However, I’m a bit uncertain about how to kick off this collaboration and what my next steps should be.
I’ll keep this brief for now, but I’m happy to share more details if there’s interest!
Thanks!

Hi there!
It’s great to hear that you’re looking to collaborate with recruiters! Leveraging your large Instagram following can be a powerful way to connect candidates with opportunities. Here are some steps to get started:
Identify Target Recruiters: Research and compile a list of recruiters or recruitment agencies that align with your niche or industry. Look for those who are open to innovative approaches and partnerships.
Build a Value Proposition: Clearly define how you can add value to recruiters. Whether it’s through providing access to a pre-screened pool of candidates, offering insights into candidate expectations, or even conducting candidate workshops, articulating your unique proposition will be key.
Reach Out: Start with direct outreach. Craft personalized messages explaining who you are, what you do, and how a collaboration could benefit them. Be genuine and concise—focus on the potential mutual benefits.
Showcase Your Network: If possible, share success stories from your Instagram following, such as placements you’ve facilitated, testimonials from candidates or recruiters, or data showing the effectiveness of your coaching.
Create Content Together: Suggest creating joint content that showcases your collaboration. This could be webinars, Instagram Lives, or blog posts that highlight valuable career tips and showcase both your expertise and their opportunities.
Follow Up and Build Relationships: Relationships take time, so don’t hesitate to follow up with recruiters after initial contact. Engage with their content on social media and attend industry events to strengthen your connections.
Consider Commission Structures: If appropriate, discuss potential commission structures for successful placements. This can create a win-win situation for both you and the recruiter.
Feedback Loop: Continuously ask for feedback from both recruiters and candidates to refine your approach and ensure that you’re always meeting their needs.
Remember, building these relationships might take some time, but your extensive following and credibility as a career coach will certainly work in your favor. Best of luck, and feel free to share updates on your progress!
Cheers!
