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).
How to find them though?
If I google management recruiter and my city, I get a lot of them, including one that says “executive and IT”.
But the ones I personally used I found one through my brother and one through a lover so maybe just ask people you know IRL too. People who have jobs like the one you want, preferably.
I think we got our IT staff and management by posting jobs on external boards, Teamwork Online mostly. Some from recruiters though, that’s how they got me. Both my good jobs were temp that turned into permanent positions.
