I've recently had the opportunity to be looking for a job. All fine and well, right? Well my issue isn't with that process, it's with 90% of the recruiters I've dealt with. When it's said that lawyers are considered to be slimy, we forget to mention recruiters.
If you haven't had the chance yet, getting recruiter calls at first can be encouraging while you make a career change. But after dealing with these guys, you'll soon find out that they could really care less about you, or your situation, but rather only out for their commission on landing you in a job. Looking for feedback after an interview? Good luck. Looking for the courtesy call saying "hey it looks like you didn't get that job"? Good luck.
They're playing a game of numbers, and could care less about your situation or the fact that you're waiting patiently for feedback on your job interview. Trust and recruiters (most) don't seem to be a good match.
What's the point? Be careful when dealing with recruiters and for goodness sake, don't believe everything these guys tell you. Sure, they might land you some interviews (that is the point right?) but don't expect much courtesy beyond that.
And I'm not a disgruntled job seeker blaming my recruiters. Just wanted to vent, and if you've read this far, I've succeeded. I think there should be a national website that ranks these guys and that allows for feedback, kind of like ebay. Hey, maybe I'll start that site. Good day.
