Has anyone had experience with a tendency that the companies that recruiters are pitching aren’t typically great companies to work at because they feel the need to hire recruiters to get talent in the first place? Versus a great company may just post a job positioning publicly and get tons of applicants. Is a recruiter worth the headache of interacting with?

Not necessarily. Sometimes companies don’t have the infrastructure to manage the process themselves. I have a client that is extremely large and complex and global, but they have a pretty lean tax department. They were recently looking for a pretty specific skillset and didn’t think their HR team would find the right person, and didn’t have the capacity to do it themselves. Just one example.

No, many smaller companies don’t have the brand recognition or an internal hiring team so they outsource.

Agree with this. There are good companies out there that are just very small, so they outsource the recruiting function.

You have a possible point. My company is amazing. Nobody leaves. They do everything with one internal recruiter. No need to spend $ on useless scumbags that are just gonna lie their way to an unnecessary commission.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
