The Smart Way To Deal With Recruiters

As the competition for talent in our industry heats up, third party recruiters will take a more important role in staffing across the industry.

If you haven’t been contacted by one yet, you will (especially if you’re following our advice and making yourself more valuable), and we want you to make sure you’re prepared to make the most of it.

Third party recruiters are professionals who help companies fill openings with qualified candidates by utilizing their networks and headhunting skills.

The first thing to understand is that regardless of how friendly they are towards you, recruiters are not your friends. They are salespeople whose job is to sell you.

You are the product, not the customer. The customer is the company paying the recruiter to fill an open role.
