I'm looking for work right now (need an embedded engineer in the UK?) and some job boards have a tickbox "[]agency" or "[]direct employer" and most of the direct employer ones are also recruiters. That is a small thing but it's pure evil. And the sad thing is I'm sure that if I asked a recruiter "how can you sleep at night doing this" he'd just shrug and laugh because to him it's normal.
- pc86 11y agoA recruitment agency that's hired on contract, or an internal recruiter at the company hiring?
- Paul_S 11y agoNo. Anyway, if that was the case why would they hide the name of the company?
- pc86 11y agoI don't think "No" is an appropriate response to the question "A or B?"
- Paul_S 11y agoSorry, that comma changed the meaning of the sentence from "A or B" to "A? B?". You don't put a comma before "or". The answer to that question would be neither. It's just normal recruiter ads that tick the box direct employer despite not being such to get through the filter. If a company is using an external recruiter the recruiter will list the company name. I only ever saw this once in my life when a company used a recruiter exclusively.
