Unhappy Working with Recruiters?

By Russell Johnson

Are you applying for jobs through recruitment agencies but unsatisfied with the process, or with the results you’re seeing?

If your answer is Yes, it’s unsurprising. The fact is, you’re not their customer. Their job is to maximize competition for jobs, giving employers the greatest choice for the least cost (even including their commission). The better the opportunity, the less likely it is to be filled by a recruiter.

To thrive in today’s job market, you need a strategy that will:

  • Get you discovered (the best opportunities often aren’t even advertised, let alone filled by recruiters), and
  • Ensure you stand out from the crowd

 

The above realities are illustrated by the following graphic (with acknowledgment to its creator, Greg Savage, a leading recruitment consultant who writes frankly and incisively about what’s wrong with the recruitment industry):

Writing to his fellow recruitment consultants, Savage describes the recruitment industry as ‘terminally dysfunctional’ and ‘totally screwed’ with candidates being ‘treated like cattle’ as a result.
