Why exactly is this unethical? I've gotten that from pretty much every company I've interviewed with for internships.
- Scuds 12y agoYou don't want to be submitted by two different recruiters for the same job. It's awkward for the job's HR and for everyone else involved, and could potentially invalidate your resume submission. But recruiting firms also use this mechanism to feel out their competition. Rec: "I have a position with AAA Airline you might be interested in." Me: :"Sorry I was already submitted to them via Firm B." Rec: "Oh, you should have gone with us instead. It's always amusing watching them try to work the AAA Airline jobs. Are you working with SoAndSo?" Me :"Yes..." Rec :"ha ha ha, best of luck to you guy"
- andrewjkerr 12y agoAh, ok that makes sense. I wasn't really thinking about it from a recruiting firm's standpoint, but, you're right, that could cause problems.
- mathattack 12y agoThis is only an issue for headhunters, not corporate recruiters. It's well within the right of corporate recruiters to ask this.
