Been chatting with an agency through an outside headhunter. Have had 3 zoom calls with the agency recruiter and ECD. I’m kinda losing interest, even tho the gig might offer more money and better title, not sure it’s the right fit with the account & agency. Should I continue to be ushered along and see if I get an offer and what that is? Im sure they are interviewing others as well, so I might not get the job. Am I miss-leading them? Will the headhunter be pissed if I turn down the job later?

Better to let the headhunter know now that you’re not feeling this one, and why. They’ll appreciate you not wasting any more of the agency’s time, they’ll respect you more and it might set you up for something more right next time.

First time using an outside headhunter. Not sure what the etiquettes are.

If you know you’re not going to take the job if it’s offered let them know. If there’s still a chance, continue, but know you may not be able to use that HH again. Especially if they are negotiating $$ etc. But do what’s best for you.

The money/title are tempting. But other than that i’m not excited. They don’t do better work than my current agency.
