For recruiters or those who have worked with recruiters - do I shoot myself in the foot with the firm if I apply for a position where the recruiter may have already reached out or might be reaching out after my application? I know the recruiter may not get a commission if I have already applied but not sure if a firm would shy away from me as a candidate to avoid a conflict.

By most contracts, recruiters won’t be able to submit your application to the same firm if you’ve already applied to it, so the second scenario would probably never even happen. If they’ve already reached out to the firm but haven’t submitted your resume, you still could apply, but at that point it may be best to have the recruiter present you - is there a reason you’re still looking to apply on your own if it’s somewhere the recruiter has already contacted? It’s best to be open with the recruiter where you’ve already applied to on your own so you can avoid overlaps.

I mentioned a position to the recruiter but not sure if anything was done. The position has since been re-posted by the firm and I’d much rather go ahead and apply myself. I suppose best if I ask the recruiter if anything came of it first.

That makes sense - in that case, yes, definitely contact the recruiter to see if they made any headway, and if they haven’t, tell them you want to apply yourself. Odd the firm reposted, the recruiter might’ve not reached out yet or gotten far in conversations yet then.

I just had this happen. I found out about a position from a recruiter, knew someone at the firm and reached out directly. The contact pushed my info along but ultimately the firm decided the recruiter should get the $$ bc I wouldn’t have known about the position without them telling me. Just do what you think will be best for you to get the job and be up front with the firm about how you found out about the position.

Oh, I wouldn’t worry about it at all then.

Depends on the arrangement between the recruiter and the firm. If they don't have an agreement and the recruiter is just reaching out independently, a firm may prefer going with direct applicants so they don't have to pay a recruiter.

Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Are we allowed to be as obvious as possible during interviews on what clients we worked on so long as we don’t say their name? Ex: one of my clients went through a huge merger in x industry in my city, and if I were to state that in interviews it would be a dead give away. Is that okay?
