Can I see an executive recruiter cover letter example?
Executive Recruiter Cover Letter Format
There is unique information that you need to include in a cover letter to an executive recruiter that you wouldn’t provide in your cover letter to an employer.
If you are submitting your resume to a recruiter without there being a specific job posting you’re applying for, you want to provide additional details to help you be properly added to their database of candidates.
By doing this, you can increase the odds that you will be at the top of the candidate list in a database search they perform when they are sourcing candidates for all positions you would be qualified for.
To be properly added to their candidate database, include a list of job titles your are qualified for in your executive recruiter cover letter.
Use the job posting aggregator Indeed.com to help you build this list of job titles.
In addition to providing a list of job titles, also include your desired geography as well as your desired salary range.
Review the recruiter cover letter example below to see how to include job titles, geography, and salary range into the letter.
