"Free Cover Letters - Recruiters
Cover Letter"
Effective Use of Cover Letters
Specifically, certain
information that is traditionally not included in cover letters sent
directly to employers should be included in a recruiter cover letter.
This information generally includes ...
- Why and when you left your last employer
- Salary information
- As well as your salary history for past employment and your expectations regarding future compensation.
In addition, you will need to mention the types of jobs you are interested in and if you are interested in relocating, then the locations that would interest you.
Finally, a comprehensive recruiter cover letter should let the recruiter know when the applicant is available to begin work and if they are already working with any other recruiting services.

James R. Wilson 1275 Hemmingway Road # 210 A Houston, Texas 00000 1-555-555-1212 jamesrwilson@email.com January 21, 2005 Mr. Samuel Jones Dear Mr. Jones: Should you have a client
who needs a corporate attorney with the ability to provide hands on
leadership, please allow me to highlight my strengths and experience.
Since graduating at the top of my class from Baylor School of Law, I
have earned a reputation as having a sharp legal mind and the ability
to grasp complex legal situations. My employer is in the process of
merging his practice with another and as a result I believe it is time
for a change. Of particular interest
to your clients:
I am particularly
interested in positions in the Houston area that start at a range of
$85,000 to $100,000 in the following categories: Contract Labor and
Employment Attorney; Intellectual Property Attorney and
Workers’ Compensation Attorney. I will be available to begin
work in any of the above positions at the beginning of next month. I would like to meet
with you to discuss the benefits I can bring to your current clients. I
will be in touch soon to arrange a personal meeting. Should you need to
reach me prior to that time I can be reached on my direct line at
1-555-1111or at home most evenings 1-555-1212. Sincerely, Mr. Samuel Jones |
He highlights the fact that he graduated at the top of his class, from a prestigious university and easily incorporates two of his best skills.
The job seeker also briefly makes mention of his reason for leaving his current employer and then moves on to draw attention to several of his recent accomplishments and achievements.
In the last paragraph, he quickly summarizes the type of work he’s looking for as well as the salary range and location.
Finally, this job applicant
states that he is available to begin work within the next month,
provides contact information and confirms that he will contact the
recruiter soon.
