With so much talk surrounding covering letters particularly on the professional network, LinkedIn, we asked our recruiters their thoughts, here is what we discovered:
“I think it is important to focus on relevant strengths and positive work-related tasks, not making it too personal. I think it is also worth mentioning their current situation, i.e is the candidate looking for a new challenge or opportunity to develop their career?”
- Claire French, Logistics & Freight Forwarding Specialist Recruiter
“I would say, certainly within my industry, the emphasis is more on personal profiles, and for my clients a personal profile is ‘the new covering letter’ I rarely get requests for official covering letters”
- Eva Clark, Property Specialist Recruiter
