If you understand a bit about how the recruiting business works. Often, companies trying to find as many candidates as possible for a given role will put out a request called a job order to lots of different headhunters.
What results is “a dogfight over you among several different recruiters,” explains Duffy. “You lose out in the end, because the employer finds it easier to avoid all that unpleasantness and just hire someone else.” By contrast, a recruiter with a contract “is most likely to be genuinely trying to find the best person for the job—they’re not just fishing.”
Let’s face it: finding and selecting a candidate for a job isn’t as cut and dried as it may initially seem. You don’t just look up and down the list of candidates and say, “Hmm, that person will do just fine.”
