One of the biggest issues I see from the developers side is that "tech recruiters" normally do not know much about technology.
The second issue is that most of the time I'm approached it feels like a template where my name was has replaced {{name}}. For instance, take DHH for example: https://gist.github.com/1285068 https://gist.github.com/1285068
Now on to your question, would I pay for an agent. Sure, but they'd have to be like Ari from Entourage. If I suck, tell me. If I don't, pay me.
Anyways, my $0.02.
- fecak 14y agoAuthor here, I appreciate your $0.02. It's more important for tech recruiters to know about what candidates are and are not qualified for than to know actual code and such, but we've all heard stories about back-end and server side folks getting submitted for UI design jobs. I think an agent would want to be sure to know enough not to represent his clients to jobs that aren't a fit, but also needs to know about trends and such that could be valuable career advice going forward.
