I place "No Recruiters" on my personal posting of my resume. This is because some less than scrupulous recruiting companies use bots and/or Google to find potential candidates. Remember: a recruiter gets paid when the position is filled, so they see cold calling and emailing people as advertising.
I have been placed in my jobs by recruiters nine out of the last ten positions (30 years). If you work with a recruiter it will become very apparent very quickly whether they understand your skill set and which positions match those skills. If you feel they aren't sending you on good interviews, dump them. There are many, many recruiting firms out there.
- dsacco 12y agoI feel this warrants a bit more explanation. I like that you add "No recruiters" to your rèsumè, but do you then accept pitches from really high quality ones regardless (and use that line as a filter) or do you seek out well-known and well-regarded recruiting firms to place you? And if you find good recruiters, where do you find them?
