If you ever get a job inquiry from KRS Associates in the UK - just delete it... What a bunch of 🤡. Time to start naming and shaming - most of their searches are just unsolicited submissions of your resume to claim exclusivity of your candidacy. 6 weeks of no news and stalling from KRS after they submitted me for a role I’m perfect fit for - gave up and just applied directly, got an interview within 24hrs.

Actually, they're one of the most knowledgeable recruiting groups in our industry. I'm sorry you had a bad experience but it doesn't give you a right to trash them. They go out of their way to do outstanding research on the market, and develop deep relationships with the candidates they represent.

funny

Might also be my experience, but have not had a great experience in the past. Had multiple recruiters independently reach out about the same role or similar roles that had been mentioned irrelevant in previous conversations leading to a waste of time for everyone involved. That being said not exactly sure any recruitment firm is exactly perfect so they might just be better than the rest given the low bar lol

F - really curious to see/hear others’ perspectives on 3rd party recruiters. I’ve heard some say they’re helpful, but the ones I’ve worked with may submit, but are extremely poor following up.

Their first question is always “Who are you interviewing with right now?” Yeah, nah bro…

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?
