I once interviewed for a role where the recruiter gave advice on how to prepare for the technical round. That was surprisingly helpful and made the process feel more collaborative. Do recruiters usually coach candidates before interviews?

Good recruiters do this, but it’s not universal. The best ones see it as setting candidates up to show their best work, not “gaming the system.” It usually leads to a better signal for both sides.

That’s a great way to look at it. It really does help both sides get a more accurate signal.

Not all of them . Only the good ones

Fair point. It definitely stands out when it happens.

It depends a lot on how invested the recruiter is, and how much they understand the job they are recruiting for. I have had a couple recruiters I have worked with in the past do this for me as well, and it really does make a world of difference.

Totally agree. When recruiters are invested, it really shows and makes a big difference.

This made me think that the only times when it happened to me was because the company itself pushed for a great interview experience, it isn't usually up to the recruiter I think, when it happens it means that the company is a nice place to work in.

Interesting perspective. It probably does reflect the overall company’s approach to candidate experience.
