What Are the Pros and Cons of Working with a Recruiter? Pros: • Recruiters have the knowledge and experience to match you with the job that is best suited for you • They are familiar with the fields and industries with the most job opportunities and what employers are looking for • They understand the hiring market and can provide expert job search/hiring advice • They can get your resume directly in front of a hiring manager and advocate for your experience/skills • Flexibility, convenience, and higher quality candidates • Often commission-based, so motivated to advocate for competitive pay rate/salary for candidates • Opportunities for those who want part time or flexible hours or need to earn extra money fast • Free for job seekers! Cons: • They may not have the right position for you right now, or jobs for your type of work/specialization • They work for the company, not the candidate; they're a fantastic resource throughout the job hunt, but they can't guarantee you'll obtain a job • Lack of employer branding • Fees for Employers-- usually well worth it for those searching for high-quality prospects, a smoother hiring process, temporary or temp-to-hire personnel, or those who need to fill tough roles or many jobs quickly Are you looking for a top-tier recruiter?
