What the ‘Hidden Job Market’ is and how to leverage it

The “Hidden Job Market” consists of internal job postings and promotions that more often than not never see the light of a formal online job post. This means you won’t find it on LinkedIn, Handshake or other job search engines. Rather, these positions are networked and discussed amongst teams seeking the “right fit” for the job.

It is important to make sure you are well known to be considered as a potential right fit! Whether you are looking to grow internally within your company or pivot into a different role using your new degree, the network you are building will be an essential pillar in the foundation of your success. 

Understanding the value in networking with the people you see yourself potentially working alongside in the near future can open opportunities that otherwise would not be posted. Leverage your new academic knowledge as well as relevant market research in order to confidently convey your career goals and gain access to these roles.
