Is Career coaching the same as hiring a recruiter?

Working with a career coach is quite different from working with a recruiter.

Coaching improves you and your approach, helps you stretch to gain results that you would not otherwise do on your own, and coaches you to ask for more and begin your new career with more confidence and professionalism.

Recruiters tend to work for the employer and do not hold your best interests at heart. They get paid by the company that is looking for the resources. Recruiters do not improve you, coach you through the interview process, nor prompt you to ask for more money and more benefits.

Independent recruiters that work as solo practitioners will tend to help you with a resume, your online profile, some interviewing, and will do job searches for you. Their aim is to get you in a job, yet will it be the absolute best job for you? Will you have the courage to counter the offer? Will you settle?

Through the typical interview-to-hire process issues we have seen professionals face when they do not work with a career coach are:

• They do not prep effectively for the interview

• Their resume does not tell their epic story

• Their Linkedin profile and other job board profiles lack substance

• They do not use strategy to find the best opportunities

• They simply depend on jobs being posted online

• They do not look at all their career options

• They tend to take the first offer as it is

• They do not write up counter offers

• They accept jobs they do not want long term

• They think of their careers through a short-term lens

• They have no clue what the culture, management, and growth plan is for their career
