Do you ignore recruiters if you’re not interested or do you reply to create a connection?

It doesn’t take long in PA to realize that 1) it’s impossible to maintain meaningful connections with the hundreds of recruiters who will reach out each year, and 2) they don’t give a sh*t about you, they only want to move you to cash in on commission. Ignore ‘em

Always ignore unless it’s a position that interests me.

I ignore until I’m interested. I have replied to some that I ignored for months, and they were still willing to help me.

I used to think a reply was the only thing to do. Then a recruiter ghosted me after he found a more qualified candidate for the role he had slotted me in to interview for. I literally had no idea what had happened until I reached out directly to the company and found out. Never again have I responded to a recruiter that I didn’t already know somehow.

I always reply. You never know if/when they will come up with a great position you’d be interested in.

Sounds like you’re not already in a great position? If that’s the case, then ya makes sense.

Ignore unless it’s actually a recruiter from a company that I may want to work at in the future. Definitely not from a 3rdnparty

I reply to the ones that are established. If I scope out their LinkedIn and it's like their third recruiting gig in two years, then I typically pass.

Any thoughts on finance in P&G or Unilever? Some people says they are mainly marketing / brand companies, so finance is less important (but the ceo is a finance person in P&G??). Also, many people say that the job is so boring and repetitive.. Actually, I'm planning to move from consulting, mostly because of work-life balance. I'm sure it's more boring, but I think it's not a bad opportunity. What are your thoughts?

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know.

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
