I talk with candidates all day long that have had bad experiences with recruiters (I'm a recruiter too). They tell me horror stories of bait and switch jobs, no follow up, claims of help but no response and wrong information. Most recruiters take pride in finding great people for great jobs and nothing else. The best recruiters know the client companies in and out, the pros and cons, give you straight information up front and tell you the truth the whole way through.Recruiters can only help you if they have a specific job open that you fit and when their client wants to hire you. Other than that, they're good to network with. Find a reputable recruiter with lots of experience and you should be fine. Know that they are trying to make money off placing you and want you to stick around for a long time to keep their client happy. Watch out for the very junior recruiters and the over aggressive ones that will bite you!
Till next time. Good luck! Scott
