things people don't really know about recruiters but are kind of obvious when you think about it > 99% of the people we speak to won't get the job. Only 1 person gets the job. > we chase leads just like a sales rep/bdm would. Don't get shirty about recruiters contacting you if you are publicly advertising that you are hiring. 2+2= 4! > we get paid depending on the candidate's salary. A recruiter is never going to try and 'lowball' you. There's just no polite way to say 'I don't think you are worth (x) salary and neither will our client' > recruiters work for projects, not people. It's not our job to personally source opportunities for individuals. We partner with organisations, then hunt the best fit. It's never personal, it's business. > we're more likely to take a risk on a candidate we have a good relationship with. If we don't know you, and you don't have tangible, obvious experience, we aren't going to put you forwards for the love of the game
