How do you find a good recruiter ? There are so many of them and all sound like scam. How do you filter them ?

I know I might be missing out on an occasional opportunity but I only deal with in house TA. Not third party and definitely not offshore third party.

They aren’t a scam but they ARE commission based, so if you aren’t marketable, they aren’t interested.

Best to go find a recruiter who deals in your specific role/industry, and also check their websites for roles that you’re potentially interested in

They are all a waste of space. The internal one are always too busy and the external ones are like the worst realtor’s. Sadly a needed group but a complete pain to deal with as a whole!

The ones at a previous employer (Truist) even for internal positions were like the Scarlett Pimpernel. Even if you were the hiring manager!

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
