Recruitment firm letters are sent to search firms or employment agencies, such as Spherion^®. This type of letter serves to communicate information about you as well as your expectations regarding salary and geographic preferences.

Elements of a recruitment firm letter:

• Introduction
  Your current situation and why you are contacting this recruiting firm.
  
  
• Attention grabber
  Something "special" about you to build their interest.
  
  
• Information provided
  A mention of your resume (enclosed), your geographic preference and salary information.
  
  
• Next step
  A statement that you will call to see when you can meet.

NOTE: The only time salary information is given in advance of any discussion with a hiring organization is when working with search firms or agencies.
