The recruiter's job isn't to find YOU a job. It's the other way around. This is the source of frustration in the job search process. Most people assume it's the recruiter's job to find them a job. In reality, they work for the company. Shifting your mindset around this will help it make more sense. Jobs are business transactions.

@TheTeaisDelicious Жыл бұрын

This is the MOST important lesson I learnt which was the recruiter was not my friend and supporter and only worked for the firm I joined. When things went bad the recruiter flipped on me and even attempted to ask me to contribute towards his lost commission! Thankfully I’m a lawyer and had to explain privity of contract to a specialised legal recruiter. Not a pleasant experience. My takeaway is: 1. Don’t ever come across as desperate with a recruiter / play it cool. 2. Don’t EVER disclose your salary because that can impact the recruiters perception of you especially if you are potentially looking to make a huge salary jump. 3. 95% of recruiters will not bother to reconnect with you except to check you have started so that they can claim their headhunter fee - once they have their fees they move on. 4. NEVER apply for a job because a recruiter pressurises you to apply for a role because he or she only cares about their commission! If your gut says no to a job then just say it and if the recruiter gets butt sore then that’s on him or her. 5. If a recruiter doesn’t come back after a final interview you DID not get the job and keep applying and do not wait for the recruiter to get back to you. As a lawyer who has been in the legal business for 20 years and having worked at top tier firms both in the uk and overseas the above is my summary of experience. Not wanting to malign all recruiters but they are like used car salesmen/women! Do your own due diligence and never feel guilty about saying no thanks to a firm job offer if you get something better - I’ve done that plenty of times and it’s part of their job!

Here is some common sense advice for life: if you are not the one who is paying a person or company for their time, then you are not the customer. More than likely, you are the product. If you get into a club for free because it's ladies' night, rest assured that you are being used as bait for men to come and buy drinks. You are not the customer, you are the product. When you buy a ticket to a sporting event, you are the customer and the game is the product. When you watch a sporting event on free TV, you are *not* the customer. The TV network and advertisers are the customer. You are the product. So when a recruiter matches you with a job and collects a fee from your new employer but collects nothing from you, you are not the customer. You are the product.

My biggest complaint about our education system is that its mostly focused on teaching us technical skills. If someone taught me all the street smarts of the corporate world I wouldn't have struggled so much in my early 20s in order to learn them through the school of hard knocks. Why no one tell us in school to watch our backs for toxic colleagues trying to backstab you or why we should try having passive income so we wont have to be a wage slave for the remainder of our lives? There is something really wrong with our education system. I wish we woul've been exposed with those raw truths about the corporate life in school rather than the romanticized version professors and teachers taught us. Although learning by rolling with the punches give us wisdom it hurts and it's time wasted that we could've been using to effectively improve our careers and life even more.

I always knew that this is true. To hear you say it hurts a little, but it is good to know where the recruiter is coming from so you can act accordingly. You think they care about you, but they are only looking out for themselves. You have to look out for yourself. It is a business relationship. The relationship can be mutually beneficial, but they can also drop you like a hot potato.

I landed in manufacturing engineering post-graduation for about 3 years now. I replied that I'm an engineer and would like to discuss mechanical engineering roles instead (my major). The recruiter agreed. We talked for a bit, but the recruiter was insistent on passing my information on to ME openings. The reason was that I didn't have that particular job title on my resume. Instead, the recruiter told me about getting my foot in the door for taking lower positions not related to engineering. I guess manufacturing engineering is not a real engineering job. The end of the conversation was not reassuring. Never heard back from them again..lol. Welcome to the 2023 job market!

The thing is, Ben, that a lot of companies use the word "Engineer" very loosely, for better or worst. I'm sure you're a good/great Engineer but many inept recruiters don't know their ass from their head, so they miss out on great candidates that don't "fit" a job title, a "culture fit", and other non-sense they invent through-out a recruiting/hiring process. Most corporations are full of it, and they find imagined reasons to not hire great people! In terms of "Engineer", in Tech, that word is used very loosely, i.e., Desktop Engineer, Hardware Engineer, Network Engineer and Software Engineer, for instance. I've done all four in my IT Career and to tell you the truth, half the time, there's not much Engineering involved in your daily or weekly tasks or projects. So, it's hard to pinpoint when and why career/job recruiters and corporations became so dumb and inept at hiring great candidates, instead of going for what they know, playing it safe, being scared and not trying to hire the best person on paper or in reality.

I had 3 recruiting agencies with me as a candidate. It was nice to have someone "on my side" of a job search. Over the past few months. 2 of them had to drop me because my current employer now contracts with them. The agency really does work for the company. I think it's an issue because now the candidate count is a bit fraudulent if used in sales and the recruiters have a smaller pool to work with for other contracts.

The company i used to work started using 3rd party recruiters the same time as they started defrauding investors. I switched to the plumbing trade and am now working with people of substantially higher integrity :) Oh, and they pay is alot better too!

Brian, you often mention "ATS" but most of us don't know what that that is. Please explain, thanks.

@fredericapanon207 Жыл бұрын

@HowdyMcPickles, ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System, an automated method of receiving, tracking and doing preliminary assessment of job applications -- all before a human lays eyes on your application. This is where having as many keywords as possible from the Job application in your resume is critical for your application not to end up in the trash.

Brian, simply put.. You, Sir are a career genius.. Excellent advice, my friend. I've never really thought of it like that, at least not this directly. No offense, put I typically hate recruiters, agencies and all of these labor leeches sucking the blood out of the working person. Direct hire, you know, the old fashioned way was a lot more ethical. Anyhow, cheers.

I still have a fairly favourable image of recruiters as regular HR was in my experience either bafflingly incompetent or terribly arrogant or both. By the latter, I mean people who let even Ph.D.s wait for the better part of an hour and think that you need to pick up your phone in under a minute for an unscheduled call and questions from you are met with self-righteous anger and indignation... (What would you say is the best reason to start working for you? HOW DARE YOU ASK???? You either made up your mind already or your wasting my god damn time!) Not to forget that they are usually NEVER prepared and you can count yourself lucky if they remember your name correctly or where you're from (I mean European in Europe, thus, no exotic names).

What is their job

@SJones-kk5lg Жыл бұрын

This is an off topic question. Is it a time waste in applying to jobs posted 30+ days or just target postings aged 21 days or less?

@thevoxdeus Жыл бұрын

How much do you want the job?

@IssanCaliRefugee Жыл бұрын

Yeah, should be two weeks or less. At the end of the second week you're likely up against a dozen candidates.

Sure, true, but in the end recruiters get paid well to find you a job, when they do. So, my answer is yes and no, it's a cooperative.

Talking about headhunters, not deploying all the puns and jokes that go with it? The hunting metaphor could lend itself to presenting all the recruiter types caricatured as animal heads over a fireplace.

Abercrombie and other companies like them don't even send rejections. And woe be to you if you fail the HIREVUE interview. They won't tell you, won't tell you why but you WILL have been discriminated against by an AI PROGRAM based on your disability/appearance to begin with...

There are a few inconsistencies with your speech as I am a recruiter I don't just toss away people like that, if the companies say no we still look for possibilities and if all companies we have a contract with say no then that is the moment things get dicey

As soon as you're determined not to be moving on to the next round for the role they found you for, you are dead to the recruiter. Ask for feedback on why you didn't move forward...crickets.

If a recruiter isn’t there to find me a job then let’s cut out the middleman and I’ll apply directly to the company. Does the average recruiter even understand my skills and experience? Do they have any clue how to do the job that’s available? If not what’s the point? If you’re not there to help me, you don’t know what I’m capable of doing, and you haven’t got a clue about the job itself why would I want to go through you to try and land the role? This is all just a waste of time for a job hunter who already has to search for jobs, update resumes, network , write cover letters, and submit applications. Adding an additional pointless step with someone who is clueless about the role’s responsibilities is just compiling the time being wasted and time is money.
