Say you were placed in an agency by a recruiting company, then later turned down the role (after the two week trial period). Does the recruiting company care to know why you turned down the role?

Yes, as most likely, they won’t get paid

Yes, because they might not recommend you for future placements if they don’t understand why you turned it down.

This post highlights the fundamental flaw with recruitment agencies in general. It’s about getting the placement fees with the least amount of work possible. Bait and switch job placement happens all the time. But instead of blaming the hiring company, they blame the hired employee. They won’t care what your reasons are. You cost them money. They’ll keep working with the company because that’s where the money comes from. You, on the other hand, are now more trouble than you’re worth.

Yes theyre going to be very “curious,” (meaning pissed) and theyre going to try to talk you into taking it, because they will get paid (probably 20% of your salary if you make it a year).

And agree with SVP above—theyll look at you as a pain in the ass and wont work as hard for you.

Hi 🐠!

Im current at EY in a consulting group that does not focus on deals, but have completed few due diligence type engagements. We focus mostly on ODD (Operational Due Diligence) for private equity firms. I really want to make it into IB. I have an interview for a Valuation and Opinions Role. Would that help in transitioning in as an IB Analyst? I would have a substantial pay cut (100K to 85K - excluding bonus). My current experience has not been seen as valuable by recruiters.
