I agree with the 3rd party recruiter. Every time I’ve ever dealt with one I’ve been annoyed. They seem more concerned with getting their commission from placing you than actually finding a good fit for you and the company.

It was when I was debating leaving public and ended up getting referred to a different firm where I’m at now.

I have never got a job through a recruiter. I have had state and federal jobs, applied through the websites. The corporate job I had was also from applying through the website.

Every time a recruiter contacts me they either fade out of the offer is too low.

But I have heard that most jobs are never posted and get filled by connections/referrals.
