Reputation is everything. If you have a job, have a profile on a job board, or simply breathe air then you’ve been contacted by a “recruiter.” Different search firms provide different experiences. We’re all familiar with some in the industry having eyes only for the placement, not your best interests. Many have absolutely no understanding of what it is you actually do and therefore present irrelevant opportunities. If they don’t know what you do, how do they know what you want? How will they get you what you deserve? There are also those that sell you a dream, wait for the guarantee to expire, then call to sell you your next dream!
