Green Key Unlocked: FAQs of Working with a Recruiter

If you’ve never worked with a recruiter, you might have some questions or concerns about the process. At Green Key Resources, our recruiters go above and beyond to provide a smooth and reputable experience for their candidates. To eliminate any confusion, we’ve answered a list of commonly asked questions, which we hope will kickstart your journey working with a recruiter and landing your perfect job! 

Do I need to pay to work with a recruiter? 

Nope! Recruiters are paid by the clients they recruit for, not by the candidate. You should never be paying a recruiter to use their services. 

How will a recruiter help me get a job? 

Recruiters generally have access to several job openings within a specific skillset. Often, they even recruit for open roles that are not available online, allowing you opportunities you otherwise might not have known about.  

What is the benefit of working with a recruiter? 

A good recruiter is a market expert. With perspective on market rates, recruiters let you know what people like yourself are being paid, what specific companies are willing to pay, and the other benefits associated with an offer. This might include bonuses, stock options, 401ks, health benefits, etc.

Recruiters also act as “resume writing experts,” who genuinely understand what companies and hiring managers are looking for on a resume. Not only are they capable of helping candidates edit and tailor their resumes accordingly, but they also assist in preparing for interviews. And on top of that, they are experienced negotiators, as it’s in their best interest to help you get the best offer possible.

How does the hiring process work with a recruiter? 

The hiring process with a recruiter is very simple. Recruiters are here to make everything easier for you, from the initial contact when you get to know each other, until you ideally accept a job offer.  

In between these events, recruiters will provide opportunities they believe would interest you, determine if you’d like to apply, and send your application to their client. From there, they will receive feedback from the company, which they will relay to you, and schedule an interview if they are interested. Should they want to hire you, your recruiter will present the job offer and aid in negotiation of salary.  

What happens if I don’t find a job working with a recruiter? 

Not to worry! If you don’t initially find a job working with a recruiter, they will continue to search for jobs that best match your interest and experience.

What is the advantage of working with a recruiter at Green Key? 

When working with a recruiter at Green Key Resources, you are getting the best of the best!  Green Key recruiters go above and beyond to develop relationships with folks that go beyond the scope of simply recruiting. While some recruiting firms look at people and candidates as a transaction to obtain commission, recruiters at Green Key see people for who they truly are – people.

How to Get Your Co-Workers to Read What You Send


The ugly truth about those memos you send and reports you write is that no one wants to read them.

Don’t take it personally, says Aaron Orendorff. Most of us are overwhelmed with the volume of words that come at us. One estimate is that the average office worker receives almost 100 emails a day. Add in the messages that come in by text, Slack and hard copy and it’s like standing in front of a fire hose.

What can you do to get attention for what you send?

Write less, suggests Orendorff in an article for The New York Times. It’s the most counterintuitive of the eight suggestions he makes, though there’s strong evidence you’ll get more notice if you write only rarely. “Scarcity in professional writing is so, well, scarce that its absence is easier to illustrate than its presence,” he insists.

Before sending off a message, ask yourself, he says, if it must be sent immediately. If not, then ask if it need be sent at all and does it need to be sent to everyone on the To: or CC: lines?

When you must email or message, Orendorff says use fewer words and cut to the chase. “We long for clarity, for other people to say what they mean in as few, short words as possible,” he points out, recommending several methods for getting your point across quickly:

  • Put action words in your subject line — Instead of “Budget Attached,” write, “APPROVAL FOR ITEMS 9-12: Budget Attached.”
  • Don’t tell, ask — Instead of describing in detail your analysis or view of an issue, ask questions; the more pointed and clear the better.
  • Lead with the need — Say what you need. get to the point at the beginning of your memo or email or message. “Rather than building to the request — and risk muddling the meaning — this inversion forces us to lead with the need. After that, you’ll often find much of the rest can be removed.”
  • Make it about “us” — “When seeking assistance or buy-in, we typically ask colleagues for their ‘opinion.’ Turns out, that’s a mistake. Asking for an opinion produces a critic,” Orendorff explains. You’ll get better results if you can make it about “we.”
  • Write a people-proof TL;DR — The snarky expression “TL;DR” meaning “too long; didn’t read” is used to summarize an overly long memo or note. Orendorff suggests hijacking it as your own summary of who is to do what by when. “If the TL;DR clearly summarizes everything, send only the TL;DR.”

Taking to heart every one of Orendorff’s suggestions is no guarantee everyone will want to read what you write. At the very least, he says we can “make it easy on our colleagues to read it, respond to it and take action.”
