Agreed. This is part of the reason why I refuse to work with third party recruiters any longer.
A few more are:
a) They cold call you in a way which makes it obvious they don't respect your schedule.
b) They just want to shoe horn you into a role, get the commission and keep moving.
c) Some third party recruiters get offended when I tell them that I am also trying to get interviews on my own without them or through other third party recruiters.
d) I have a sneaking suspicion that third party recruiters are paid if the candidate stays for 3 months. So if things were not to go perfect in the first few months then the company might be more inclined to fire you to save the commission.
- Consultant32452 6y agoWhen I get a cold call i ask them to send an email with the job description and salary range and inform them I don't reply to job descriptions without a salary range. If they don't send it I block their phone number as spam. This filter has led to me having decent experience. Very rarely do they comply.
- theonething 6y agoMost 3rd party recruiters I've worked with straight out lied about the salary range of the positions they were shilling. I don't work with 3rd party recruiters anymore.
- Consultant32452 6y agoYou can fix that by having a contractually guaranteed maximum overhead they can charge for you. Make it a % and it incentives them to max out your pay. You can probably only demand those kinds of terms of you're highly sought after though.
