Got hit up by a recruiter for a position I'm actually (for once) interested in. The only thing is that I know the people running the business quite well. What do I do?

I would tell the recruiter and then contact your friends directly. Recruiters only get paid if they introduce you to an agency

Dont go through the recruiter if you can avoit it. Go directly through your contacts

No I mean that I like the people. And I know them. So either they're not interested in me already (or they would have hit me up). But yeah, as LB1 says I'm thinking that I just avoid the recruiter altogether. Thoughts? Anyone else?

Yeah why do you assume they don’t want to hire you just bc their recruiter is reaching out? Depending on the nature of your relationship, maybe they’re the very reason why the recruiter reached out in the first place. Keep talking to him/her and maybe bring up your relationship in the email. Also email the guy/girl you know personally with a quick “hey this recruiter reached out!!” but again depends on your relationship

You know the people running the show. Assuming you mean that in a negative context?

What's your relationship with the people you know?
