Dear xxxxxx (Director of Human Resources),
I am writing this to show my interest for the job position you are hiring for. I want to apply for
the Recruitment Consultant position as advertised in a website page. I would like to inform you
on my experience as a recruitment consultant. I have been serving this position for the last one
and half years in a consulting agency. Now, I want to broaden my expertise working as a
recruitment consultant. This is the reason the advertisement for your company caught my
attention. I am expecting that very soon I will be getting promoted to a manager in recruitment
process as I am very skilled and experienced as well.
In your job posting, it is being mentioned that you are looking for someone who is both capable
and experienced in handling recruitment related tasks. During my last job as a recruitment
consultant in a recruiting agency I was supposed to attract and recruit skilled people. The job was
very challenging considering that graduate professionals have very limited interest for a
recruitment consultant position. Instead, professionals are more interested serving the retail,
engineering, IT or a medical sector. However, I did not just fulfill the employers’ expectations
form me; rather, I maintained a very good track of providing skilled professionals to a range of
employers for their various job positions.
Within just one and half year, I successfully delivered a close to 400 quality people to varieties
of industries. I am truly proud of this.
When I saw your job opening, I quickly realised that this suits my area of expertise and will help
me reach my career to another level. This is to inform you that I have also included my resume,
so that, you understand more about my expertise, knowledge and skills.
