There's a variety of reasons, for example recruiters can engage in activity of legal dubiousness such as buying employee lists off disgruntled employees or using phishing techniques to get the same.
It's also much cheaper for the recruiter because they're representing a range of different businesses. If the person they're calling isn't interested in a particular role they're pitching, they can pitch another role hence the ROI of each call is much higher for the recruiter than for an individual business.
- endianswap 14y agoForgive me if I'm being naive, but what is legally dubious about purchasing employee lists off of former (or current) employees? I'm in an industry where the "employee list" is published regularly (game development, employees listed via product credits) hence my curiosity.
