Every job outside my first role I have gone through headhunters specifically and never applied for the roles. Highly recommend. You circumvent the AI screens, HR/talent intros and go direct into the 1st rounds.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Definitely a pro to be able to circumvent AI screenings these days.
Recruiters have never been reliable for me. I always always found and got the job on my own

It depends on industry and location. In nyc high finance its all recruiter led. Elsewhere not so much.
If you work with recruiters make sure you have like 6. They all have their own custom listing and really only reach out if they have something thats a sure thing for you. So its not like a RE agent where you work with one, you have to work with a bunch, and its not dirty or a secret, they all know it.
Great tips! I didn’t think of needing to work with multiple.
