And of course some recruiters prefer to submit directly to the hiring managers, working around the single-point-of-intake people who may not do better than automated keyword matching in routing resumes. Policy that resumes must come through HR and no contract can be formed by those not authorized is a plausible defense in court, but they still have to lawyer-up and play Discovery -- or pay the greenmail to avoid those distractions. Hence they'll hire a double-submitted candidate only if hiring manager says this person is so so so much better than all the others that they're REALLY worth that hassle and can sell it to the VP and VP-HR. Good luck on that. Hence, don't work with any agent who doesn't let you control dissemination. I've followed that rule and was double-submitted only once. Two otherwise careful conscientious, honest recruiters were each told they had an Exclusive on the opening, but that it was urgent, so submitted me first and told me later. And each complained to me they were told double-submitted. Meh, if the hiring company has a culture of dishonesty like that, i don't want to work there anyway !! But i chided both agents for their error, and both were suitably chastened. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
