Recruiters often make big promises to win your business – claims of vast networks, low fees, and quick turnarounds. But what’s the reality behind the sales pitch? Here are some secrets recruiters don’t want you to know:
Myth: Recruiters are highly focused on your search.
Reality: Most recruitment work goes unpaid, so recruiters juggle many searches at once hoping a few pay off. You likely get only 20-30% of their attention.
Myth: Recruiters have access to the best candidates.
Reality: Much of recruiting is a numbers game – throwing lots of candidates out there hoping some stick. Quality is often secondary to quantity.
Myth: Recruiters want long-term, successful placements.
Reality: Many placements leave within 12 months, resulting in repeat business and fees for recruiters. There’s little incentive to ensure retention.
