If you’ve heard an agency might be hiring- is it better to go through a staffing firm or reach out to their in-house recruiter

In-house, but even better if you already know somebody there. Most hiring managers prefer to talk to people who have a history and not some random .

In-house

Usually staffing agencies take a cut if you get hired! So direct contact is definitely preferred from the agency hiring manager’s POV

Going direct is better, but does have its downsides. For example, I’ve had external recruiters contact me about roles and because I’ve spoken to the agency in question directly in the previous 12 months when there were no roles open, refuse to put me forward for the roles that are now open. So you have to keep contacting the in-house recruiter in case something opens up once you head down that road.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
