📩 Why did a recruiter contact me when I’m not actively looking?
Specialized recruiters, like those at DELAN, identify profiles that stand out. Even if you already have a job, your skills are in demand.
This isn’t pressure to change jobs, but rather an opportunity worth considering. A good recruiter will listen to you, explain the role, and respect your decision.
💸 Does the service of a recruitment firm cost me anything?
No, recruiters’ services are completely free for candidates. They are fully covered by the recruiting company.
Therefore, you don’t have to pay anything to receive support, advice, or to be offered a position.

📭 Why haven’t I heard back after submitting my resume?
We receive numerous applications every day. It’s possible that the position is already filled, the profile we’re looking for isn’t a perfect match, or the recruitment process is temporarily on hold.
This doesn’t mean you’re not valuable. Keep applying, stay in touch, and keep your profile up to date.
All resumes received are kept in our database, allowing us to contact you again if a new opportunity better matches your experience.

📋 I don’t meet all the requirements listed: should I still apply?
Absolutely! Many employers are willing to provide training or be flexible if the human and technical potential is there.
It’s better to take a chance than miss out on a great opportunity.
💲 Can I discuss my salary expectations from the start?
Yes, and it’s even recommended. At DELAN, we address these topics upfront with transparency.
This ensures that the position meets your expectations while respecting market realities.
