I’ve been working with a recruiter on and off over the past year. I followed up on our last email exchange about 4 months ago but never heard back. Would it be okay to reach out to a different recruiter now? And should I mention that I previously worked with someone else?

Why would you only work with one Recruiter? It’s not like your contracting with a real estate broker.

Yes they were. They helped me land some interviews with CCO. Which is why it felt strange when I got ghosted suddenly when I asked for some updates. But to your point, I might have waited too long to reach out to another recruiter.

Recruiters are not loyal to you. You are a number. They just include you in a batch of CVs and fire over to the client to review. If you get in with an interview then lucky you. And so the process continues. Reach out to many more recruiters and up your chances.

Use every recruiter

Connect with every recruiter you can. Better yet, find a verified headhunter who has a deep network of contact and influence.

To be fair, the first recruiter connected me with CCOs but got ghosted afterwards when I asked for updates.

Don’t worry about them reaching out to the same agency. Most of the time, agencies have relationships with certain headhunters. They’ll also ask you if you’ve been submitted recently at that particular agency. If you have been, just tell them you have.
