However, if they introduced you to the agency where you’re still interviewing, I’m pretty sure it’s a very different thing. They are entitled to a fee just for that. The agency pays it, not you, but you still don’t get to get in the way of their getting paid.

You could do as they do and ghost them. Or you can be professional and just cut the cord and tell them you want to go at it on your own.

Agree with ACD1. Any in-progress interviews you have through them they will get paid for. But you can ghost away after that!

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
