Are there job recruiters who work for the person looking for the job rather than the companies looking to hire? Is that a thing?

Hmm sounds interesting, will search for one

there are also open professional networks for exceptional Web3 builders, companies, and investors that are obsessed with making hiring easier through verified data and visible trust but idk any

Exactly! Or even how real estate brokers work

i always thought there's space for this, especially during the ZIRP times. Function similar to how agents represent athletes.

yes there’s definitely recruiters who always have a shortlist of candidates that they’re trying to place or find the right role for 

@iggy and Dan at Uptop can probably help

you mean where the candidate is the buyer (e.g. recruiter takes a cut of their base)?

always happy to help / brainstorm

my guess is this only really is a thing at the exec level

I doubt anyone could find a job I'd want to take that I cannot discover myself

Yes they’re definitely recruiters rooting for you if they like you.

As a recruiter for 4 years, I've encountered this already. We help our candidates look for a company that suits their qualifications and we will endorse them.
