Why do recruiters start interviewing for a job when they don’t actually have an opening? Been talking to an agency since March...am I being lead on or should I be more patient?

I know recruiters who get hired just because of the size of their digital Rolodex. They collect talent like baseball cards.

It’s called pipelining. I’m always networking and looking for people to hire and I don’t even work in recruiting

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
