Has anyone had good matches/success when using a Recruiting Agency? I’m debating if I should use one on my current job hunt got myself.

In the past, when I was used a couple of a agencies for our hiring, it was a pretty rough experience. Mostly there was a big disconnect between what we told the recruiters we were looking for (in writing, in person & over the phone) & what the job was, and what the recruiters told the candidates. It was really frustrating on both ends.

Hey there,

For a recruiter perspective you should use the ones that are tailored towards a certain niche as ones that are generalists don’t have already the right pipelines and take longer to understand the jd/ market they are hiring for.

Those are my two cents I learned as I had to adjust to different clients with different sectors became hectic and ineffective

Thanks! That’s good info

Agencies are a great way to obtain contracts with companies it otherwise may have been difficult to break into. There are some agencies that have huge disconnects and unethical practices, let's be honest. But don't let that discourage you from finding a really good agency that will work with you and put you first as the candidate. I've had my fair share of good agencies and bad agencies but what set them apart was the recruiters that I was working with. I would recommend to still keep an open mind with agencies.

Thank you. Now the question is, how to find the good ones? 😂

Hi Accenture folks, I wanted to know how many years does it take for a level 10 employee to get promoted to level 9. Is it the no. of years as level 10 or the overall YOE thats is used to decide the promotion. Other than these two factors I am sure even performance plays an imp role in promotion? I am asking this because accenture has offered me level 10 and my YOE is 2.4 years. So for a person like me to get promoted to level 9, what are the factors they will consider? Accenture
