Here in the UK, everyone hates agents.
Yet when I was applying for my last job, I made 2 dozen applications direct. Got 3 replies, about 2-3 months late. And for all 3, got a standard rejection.
Sad but true: We need recruitment agents, as companies will never do anything until someone is breathing down their neck over the phone.
Those companies that never replied? One year later, they are still running Linkedin ads promoting open positions.
- axelroze 5y agoIt could be the case that they 'hire' someone internally from role A to the advertised role B. But due to some legal requirements they have to run an Ad so they appear open to all candidates. I had pretty good experience with recruiting agents. Sadly didn't get the job as I flunked the leetcoding part but I got an interview compared to rejection when I applied via forms and CV.
