The hidden job market covers positions filled without a public job ad. Employers prefer to find candidates through referrals or direct search.
To reach these openings, you have to be proactive. The key is building a professional network and sending job inquiries directly to selected companies.
Being present where professionals from your industry meet is just as important, both online and at in-person conferences.
Key tips:
- Make a list of your dream employers: check the Careers pages of their official websites regularly.
- Use your network: let friends and former colleagues know that you are looking for new challenges.
- Send speculative applications: write to the head of a department and ask whether they plan to grow the team.
- Be active in industry groups: take part in discussions on LinkedIn and specialist forums.
