I am working with a recruitment firm and the recruiter I was working with would only match me with a black hiring manager, and I was hardly matched with companies. I’m African American, and I work in the accounting field. I talked to someone else at the company about this, and they made it seem like it wasn’t that big of a deal but is this normal?Also, is it a good idea to continue to work with them?

You've posted this question in a bowl that is geared towards lawyers. Some of us may have a background in accounting, but I'm not sure if we can answer your questions about the current market.

From the previous questions posted it seemed as if the questions were general recruitment questions for different professional areas. Sorry for the misunderstandin.

If you’re not happy with the quality of service they’re providing you then no it is not a good idea to continue to work with them.

I gather that much. When you work with a recruiting firm they normally have multiple recruiters. While there may be a bias recruiter the other may be great to work with. So you can work with many recruiter, and I was asking from that aspect.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
