Recruiter Insights

Tarrah, Senior Recruiter at Allianz Life US

Being a recruiter is rewarding for Tarrah as she feels it brings a sense of pride and appreciation to see an employees’ career journey within Allianz.  She can closely relate to the career journey within Allianz and how it has helped her grow and develop as a professional.  Her advice to applicants: “Do your research on the company and review the job description so that you can relate to the job responsibilities and requirements, but also bring knowledge of the company to your interview; then sell your strengths and why you would be a good fit for the role.” She adds, “make sure, you stay meaningful and avoid objective statements”.

Nasir, Senior University Relations Expert & Senior Recruiter

Nasir values authenticity above all. “Be yourself”, he says. “There is nothing more powerful than originality – and this is what we look for”. At the same time, he recommends to stay focused, being well informed about the company and its engagements besides the core business. During a job interview, applicants should feel encouraged to ask questions themselves. Nasir’s insider tip: “If a recruiter can look up your account on LinkedIn, why shouldn’t you? You might find a nice ice breaker for your conversation.”
