I'm a recruiter who's been a CTO, contract developer, consulted for most of the large international staffing companies, run (very) occasional courses on career development for developers, and have hired many people as a technical interviewer. I give a lot of free advice to developers I represent.
I will be curious to see if there's an actual market for this.
- pmiller2 9y agoDo you work in or around the Bay Area? I don't actually know very many recruiters who are more than just salespeople.
- peteretep 9y agoAfraid not. While I've technically got global reach, I focus on London, and a particular niche in London.
- joncrocks 9y agoAny tips for finding 'good' recruiters/filtering out bad ones? And any tips for finding good recruiters in London specifically?
- peteretep 9y agoWhat area are you in? Possible I can make recommendations albeit unlikely. I've found a fairly strong correlation between recruiters whose company I enjoy and their competence. Also: look at the spread of the jobs they're in, do they sponsor conferences and communities?
- ztratar 9y agoRecruiters only give advice to job seekers. Also, most recruiters (sorry) can't be trusted. Their motivation is not aligned with the candidate's best interests -- candidates are their product.
