Don't waste your energy with a some bozo recruiter.
Instead focus your search on networking with senior executive level women. Most companies (even in male dominate tech) have a few well positioned women. And most get the Girl Power Network thing.

- zer00eyz 11y agoThere are lots of firms who ONLY get decent engineers through recruiters. Techical recruiting is HARD, and honestly if your a small shop, with limited HR going outside to get talent may be your only option.
- JSeymourATL 11y agoThe typical business model for a recruiter has the company pay him a fee for placement. He does NOT work for job-seekers, but rather tries to broker a match. Most companies (especially small shops) would rather source a potential hire through their own channels, than pay a headhunter fee.
