< cf rant about recruiters > The previous ambiguous openings I posted about a week+ ago haven't happened yet. No word on if they will or not. Sorry.
However, in the last 2 days a friend and I have each received calls from different recruiters, both cagey as hell on telling us about the jobs...though requesting assistance (don't you love the mutual trust!). One was supposedly in Prairie Village doing CF work and paying pretty well for 'perm' work. The other is for 2-3 CF positions in KC (no idea where) for contract to perm positions. Recruiter claimed they were not for the typical CF companies that come to mind lately as having openings. Due to the less than stellar openness I/we have received from these 2 recruiters in the last 2 days, it isn't fair to the others out there (recruiters) to give these 2 a leg up in their job by telling you who to contact (or the free advertising). If you are interested in their contact information, or discussing possible alternative recruiters, feel free to give me a call in the next day or so. My current office number is 913-534-3932. fyi, I'm a bit jaded with recruiters and have worked with a number of them now, and some treat me well and others make me question every thing they say. I understand they have a tough job and can't share all of their secrets, but the constant battle between the parties forces me to be on my toes whenever they call. As job seekers (and some of you are employers), be weary of this profession. It is next to impossible to gauge their honesty and who they really work for. Is it the employer? The employee/contractor? Or a combination of both. Frankly, I can rarely trust them 100% because of their vested interest. They get paid by the employer, and have to treat them well to get the job postings and to be chosen as the contractor who fills it, but they can't fill it without the contractor. If they mistreat the contractor, he/she walks (or doesn't accept the offer) and they don't get their commission (high %), if they annoy the employer, or trick them into hiring the wrong person, they burn themselves and loose out on future jobs. Use them as a necessary evil, but know what you are getting into....and at the very least, keep your eyes open to what they are and aren't telling you.
