Any success using a recruiter to land an in-house role? My instinct says this may hurt more than it helps do to their fee, but I just want a gut check.

Found my first one that way but haven’t had any luck landing another one since then (3yrs).

I think they’re rarely helpful. Most of my interviews are all from cold applying. That being said, if a recruiter reached out and have a position that you don’t have access to yourself: why not? But I think I might have done 5 apps through a recruiter. I found them very unhelpful and purely used them to get access to the company. The times I could access it without a recruiter I didn’t go with them. Out of the 5 apps I got one first round interview that turned one second round interview, and no offer. But they were zero help in achieving that.

A2 that’s called a candidate driven model. You want one focused on a client driven model (they already have the client and have been given a order to go find someone for a role)

Yes. But most focus on law firm recruiting. You need one who focuses on in-house.

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
