You must be a recruiter
- toomuchtodo 5y agoIt’s all good advice even if they’re a dog masquerading as a human.
- postalrat 5y agoI don't think defaulting to or depending on recruiters is good advice. The only time I would suggest that is if the place you want to be hired at only hires through recruiters. Otherwise you should find a way to apply directly to the company.
- matanrubin 5y agoWhy?
- ericb 5y agoWhy do you care? I've submitted resumes to companies directly and been ignored--probably dumped in an HR inbox somewhere. Then I later come in through a recruiter and had them pursue me aggressively. Feel free to look through my comments--I'm not a recruiter. If you go through the company directly, you won't get a straight answer on salary up-front. You can be as direct as you want on salary with a recruiter middleman without hurting anyone's feelings, though.
- tra3 5y agoRecruiters have kpis to hit so they are motivated to get you through the first set of gatekeepers. Essentially they are on your side.
- postalrat 5y agoYou could say the same thing for any salesperson.
