Internal recruiters only care about positions at their company. External recruiters really only care about an applicant if there’s a position that needs filled that they’ve been contracted out to fill (mainly because they get a cut, don’t fault them for that).
What I’m curious is if there is someone who is willing to work on your behalf and leverage connections they have in an industry to find a person a job regardless of where it is.
Im either using the wrong search terms or it doesn’t exist (for reference I’m looking for Director+ IT).
Never had a good experience with headhunters, mainly the few I worked with used a bait and switch strategy. Get me hyped up for a vacancy then switch it to a different company which is shit. Maybe I was just working with the wrong people. I’ve had better success staying loyal to the company and working with internal recruiters.
