In your career - how many jobs have you had? How many did you get through a headhunter or talent agent? For me 9/0.

8 f/t roles at large agencies. For background, the agencies were owned by WPP, Omnicom, Publicis, and MDC Partners. Seven of those through LinkedIn networking and one through a recruiter.

Staff: 8, freelance: 45
Got a lot thru recruiters, but 20 years in I had better connections than the headhunters

9/0 for me too. When they approach me now, I tell them - you could be the first recruiter to ever help me.

Hi Folks,

How many days will it take to roll out the offer basically with Oracle India. Can some one please help me with info.

I got to ask. I had my recruiter phone screening and can’t seem to figure out a couple of things.
1. Applied for 2posts. Said Under Consideration for one but was interviewed for a different role. Is this normal?
2. The interviewer didn’t seem much interested to speak to me. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Overall it went average, but I’d like to know if I could reach out this recruiter asking about the application status issue on the job portal!
Thoughts?

Topic : Major IT companies revokes freshers offer letters!

Dear Mass recruiting companies, Now onwards please don't lecture only the employees in terms of ethics, moon lighting. Please look inwards and introspect yourself too.

Just few months back you hired freshers and now offer letter is revoked. This is a cycle, When there is excess demand, candidate do the same and when the demand subsides employers does it to candidate. So there is no point in crying when employees give it back to you!
