Write a Prospecting Letter

Call Human Resources

Sounds crazy, right? Call the human resources department. Ask them what outside agency or third-party recruiting firm they use. They will ask you why you want to know. Tell them that their company is not currently looking for someone with your skill set right now, the agency may be dealing with other firms, so you are looking for a recommendation. They can ask you for an interview. If not, at least you do get a lead. They would love to save the agency fees. Also being recommended gives you special attention. Finally, send them a thank you note. 

These are guerrilla tactics that can give you better results. Be sure to stay tuned for another 5 creative tips.
