And has anyone had experience with hired.com?
I've never had two recruiters submitting the same resume. I have occasionally told a recruiter that they sent me the resume of someone I had already heard from directly. I have had a dishonesty problem with recruiters: once they get their mitts on a resume in an editable format, some of them like to embellish. I don't do business with those recruiters after that. I prefer not to do business with recruiters at all: they tend to add zero value in exchange for their 20-35% fee. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
