What are your thoughts on The Barton Partnership as recruiters ? I’ve had. 2 bad experiences with them (e.g., being ghosted) but other people seem happy with them. I’m wondering whether to blacklist them personally or treat the last disappointment as another one-off

My general guidelines are to only interact with recruiters who have tenure and some promotions on their profile to at least demonstrate that they’ve made some successful placements. Otherwise steer clear of the meat grinder

Haven't had great experiences either. Are there any ones that people here recommend?
