The job search process doesn’t end when you secure an offer - what you do next can set the foundation for long-term success. As we end our Maximising Your Job Search campaign, Kieran McKeown, Managing Director of Matrix Recruitment, shares the two most important questions every candidate should ask their recruiter before stepping into their new role.
At Matrix Recruitment, we believe in supporting candidates beyond the job offer. Asking the right questions at this stage can help you prepare effectively and stand out in your new position.
The Final Two Key Questions To Ask Your Recruiter:
1. Do you have any final advice for me?
This simple yet powerful question allows your recruiter to share insights that could make all the difference in your transition. From last-minute interview feedback to company culture tips, their advice can give you a competitive edge.
Kieran recommends asking this question because it helps you:
Gain valuable industry insights that may not be in the job description.
Address any final concerns before starting your new role.
Feel fully prepared and confident for what’s ahead.
2. What should I focus on in the next few weeks to ensure success?
Success in a new role isn’t just about showing up - it’s about making a strong impression from day one. Your recruiter can advise on the key skills, company expectations, and onboarding strategies that will help you thrive.
According to Kieran, this question is essential because it helps you:
Prioritise key actions that will set you apart early on.
Understand what your employer values most in new hires.
Start your role with clear goals and a proactive mindset.
Why These Questions Matter
Your job search doesn’t stop when you get the offer - how you prepare for your first weeks can impact your long-term career growth. By asking these two questions, you show initiative, gain crucial insights, and set yourself up for success.
