Anyone know how to get in touch with any of these? I've contacted a couple recruiters on LinkedIn but not getting much reply back. I am looking to make a career transition in the next few months/year.
I'm not sure what you mean by career transition. Are you looking for a new job in the same profession/industry or looking to change your career?cruiserag2020 said:

I just read the OP's last comment and the above is spot on. Recruiters wont be able to help you much with a career transition. Their clients dont pay them to find a person working in higher education that wants to transition to another industry. They pay them to find someone that is basically a carbon copy of the job description.Kevin the 3-legged dog said:I'm not sure what you mean by career transition.

If you're looking to change your prof/industry, it's really hard and recruiters aren't your best resource.
Recruiters/headhunters get paid by finding someone that is a perfect fit for a new job. They aren't paid to say, this candidate can do the job but has never done it before. They're paid to find the person that can do the job. So, unless you're a perfect fit for a job, they may respond, but they can't help you.
Career changes are done when someone personally knows the value of what you can do in any role and let you do that.
Now, if you're looking for a similar industry/profession, that's easy. Look for job postings and what they posted, and contact them. Every recruiter has a niche market. You have to find the right ones.
DM me and I can look at your profile and steer you in the right direction.
You are going to really have to narrow down and focus on what it is you want to do. You cant just talk to a potential employer/recruiter and say well Im open to whatever you have at the moment. Thats the equivalent of a recent college grad with a liberal arts degree saying well I dont know what I want to do, but Im open.cruiserag2020 said:
Thanks for the replies.
I'm open to any industry. I have spent my career is higher education and people management. So anything that would translate to I am open to.
I'll google and reach out to those on this thread. However, I don't have PM so can you post an email or email me at cruiserhead2020@gmail.com?
