Yes. 100%. If you see a job posting though try to contact someone in your network who has an in instead. It’s always better.
I’m my experience, the external recruiter can’t touch you if you applied to an internal one. Choose your path in wisely.
I generally agree with this logic because you need to do what you can to get the job.
But… Just remember that third party recruiters only get paid by “representing” you. If you decide to go directly to the agency recruiter, then they might not get paid. That would be fine if you end up getting the job. But if you don’t get that job, then that third party recruiter might become reluctant to rep you the next time.
As long as you don’t try to screw the third party recruiter out of their commission, it’s fine. You just need to be upfront with everyone about who else you’re talking to, and not go direct to an agency recruiter at the same time a third party is putting you forward there.
