I've been recruiting for almost 20 years and have been considering writing a book about various tactics. My blog regularly exposes some of the recruiter tricks and strategies on topics from counteroffers to candidate control. If I become convinced there would be even modest demand, I'd write it.
- arethuza 11y agoI love this book "exposing" management consulting: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rip-off-Scandalous-Management-Consulting-Machine/dp/1872188060 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rip-off-Scandalous-Management-Consul... I'd like to read an equivalent for recruiters and as more people encounter recruiters than management consultants I expect the audience would be much larger!
- fecak 11y agoMy comment got a few upvotes, so perhaps there is more interest in this topic than I originally thought. I wrote an ebook "Job Tips For Geeks: The Job Search" a couple years ago that included a few tips on working with recruiters, but that wasn't the focus. I'll give it some thought, thanks for the insight.

- brightsize 11y agoI'd love to read that. I've also been curious about how the Indian Recruiter industry works. I get far more of their spam than that from any other source. I remember at one point they were adopting hilariously over-the-top British names. Venkat would identify himself as Bradford Wellington the Third or some such. A lot of that has stopped, the tactic must have backfired.
