Cause they're recruiters who get paid 60% of what we earn

no, literally we even confirm time and date and the day off are nowhere to be found. It has happened twice in the last month.

Its a test to see how desperate you are so they can lowball the offer later.

How do you approach a firm recruiting you when you weren't looking to move?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
