Oh wow, do you think they pay ADs the same?
If you’re talking about full time...there are pluses and minuses. Your salary may be a bit lower, as the company will need to pay the headhunter. But, the company still needs to be in market with salary and you shouldn’t see too much of a cut.
Some independent recruiters invest in the candidates and some see it as transactional. Never hurts to see what oops they have.
If they tell you someone is hiring, don’t reach out to that company on your own - it’s not fair to the headhunter.
