Unadvertised Jobs: Find Jobs That No-One Else Knows About

Unadvertised jobs, hidden jobs and unpublished vacancies; we all know they are there so don't listen to anybody who says they aren't - the fact is these jobs are just unannounced at this stage. What happens is that a new process starts, or someone is leaving in the future and this requires an assessment of staffing needs. Very often the need is determined but the job is not (yet) publicized and so the job remains unadvertised. So no-one else knows about them!!

Hidden Jobs - Where Do You Find Them?

Hidden jobs e-book
Hidden jobs won't be found in job banks, search engines, job listings, and job guides although these are all useful tools in your employment search. Looking for unadvertised or unannounced jobs is a different matter altogether.

Statistics show that perhaps up to 60% of all jobs are found informally - by word of mouth, so the unadvertised jobs are what you really need to uncover and I'm going to show you how. You've heard about networking for jobs, so here is how to do it properly.

Included in my very detailed manual I show you everything you need to know about how to find hidden jobs:

Do You Know How YOU Are Going To Find Your Next Job? Do You Even Know WHERE To Look In The Hidden Job Market?

Why Are Jobs Not Advertised?

There are many reasons why you have unadvertised jobs; the most common are costs and the speed of recruiting someone. In the current financial climate more corporations and many recruitment agencies will be looking to reduce costs and of the best methods is to cut back the number of job adverts being placed. So, the credit crunch is actually responsible for the growth in the hidden job market.

From the organisation's point of view, saving money on recruitment costs makes a lot of sense, and even moreso when they can engage their existing employees in the recruitment process by offering a 'bounty' for a successful recommendation of a new employee. Think about it - an advert attracts a high number of completely unknown candidates, who all have to be assessed in one way or another, before interviewing a shortlist. By getting existing employees involved and recommending PEOPLE THEY KNOW, the process is faster and more cost effective. From a recruitment agency perspective, their database is a potential goldmine which is why they are keen to attract people most of the time.

What does that mean to you, the job seeker? It means that if you know how to get introduced to people who work in your target organisations, you need never fear the hit and miss recruitment process again. The keys to that are understanding the whole concept of finding unadvertised jobs.

My Own Experience

To demonstrate my own experience, let me tell you a (very) short story.

In 1994, I was ready for a move to bring me greater commercial exposure. The ads were non-existent, the agencies weren’t helpful and I was 44 years old.

Being a good Career Consultant (!) I knew I’d have to help myself.

So what did I do?

First off I thought “who do I know” that might tell me something useful or push me in the right direction. So I wrote down a list of the names of everyone I could think of.

Then I thought “what sort of business” would have the sort of job I wanted. So I set about researching the type of firm that I thought would have the type of opportunity that I wanted, and it would be in the unadvertised or hidden jobs. Unannounced jobs are everywhere when you know how to search them out.

This task took quite a few hours of Library Research back then, but using the internet to research unadvertised jobs is so much easier now. You could even start by using the search box at the bottom of this page if you don't mind seeing one or two adverts as well.

When I had completed and researched my long list I next narrowed it down to a short list of 3 or 4 companies that looked interesting. Having done that I then put my two lists together to see if I knew anyone working for or connected with any of my shortlisted target companies. And yes I did!

After making one telephone call and setting up a network meeting with my contact who was on the list, I was able to arrange a meeting with the manager who was eventually to offer me the job I badly wanted.

And let me stress this to you. At no time was this job advertised!! It was one of those elusive unadvertised jobs!

Not only did this turn out to be exactly the job I wanted, but the location was right and the salary and conditions excellent.

So the thing to bear in mind is that although not all jobs get advertised, they do all start somewhere – if only in the mind of a manager who has a problem that needs a solution.

In this particular case I made sure I was seen as being the solution. (I found out much later that the manager who hired me already knew that the existing consultant in that area had decided to move on.)

If you will follow my approach to finding unadvertised jobs it can also be your solution.

This, by the way, was when I joined KPMG Peat Marwick’s Management Consulting business. I don’t say any of this to ‘blow my own trumpet’ but to show you what is possible; and I have repeated this since then.

You are here: Unadvertised Jobs.
