Some of you have had great experiences working with recruiters and unfortunately others have had some very bad experiences. There are a lot more advantages as well as disadvantages I could have written about, but here are a few that likely hit home.
Advantages of working with a recruiter:
1) Recruiters know about jobs that are not posted on company websites or on job boards.
Many companies don’t have the time or resources to fill all of their open positions. Therefore they use recruiting firms to assist in the process. This has changed over the years with job sites; Monster, Careerbuilder, HotJobs, etc. Many companies will post their openings on their company website and/or one of these job sites. However many companies do a very poor job of managing responses they get, and some companies don’t even manage them at all which makes me wonder why they even bother posting them. How many times have you submitted your resume directly to a company website or a job site posting and not heard back?
