Sometimes the wish list on the candidate's end is un-realistic. Some
candidates call recruiters for opportunities and pretty much sum up what
they do and what they want in the next opportunity. Most candidates that are
at the senior level are the ones who are realistic in what they ask for.
Then are those candidates that have 2 years worth of experience wanting to
work for the largest players and want to make 90K+ in base salary which is
absolutely un-realistic.
I'm not doubting that there are a lot of recruiters out there that do
present lower level opportunities for those at senior levels... they are
just a few that don't know there head from their a*s =)Just stay away from
them.
What I don't like is when candidates get mad when the recruiter can't place
them. I qualify both my clients and candidates thoroughly and know that
whether it will be a good fit on both ends or not. For most clients I had
interviewed about 30 candidates and only presented about 1 or 2 of them
knowing they will make the cut. I'm not going for candidates that will only
make it to the 3rd round and then get knocked out. It would have been a
waste of time for both my client and the candidate. I'd rather not present a
company where you can get the first two interviews but not make it in the
end. It'll just be harder to break the news that they passed at this time.

I hate to say it, but recruiters are a necessary evil... you have to be
forceful and tell them what you want, and what you do not want, very
firmly...

Hello,
I want to know the good way to look for a job in NYC. I live here though
but don't know how to find job openings in diff companies. I check diff job
sites but most of the time they are full with recruiting agencies and no BIG
company ad there.
I haven't have good experience with recruiting agencies..and ur mailbox is
full with them all the time......they waste a lot of time, and a lot of
boring questions for an hour..need to find a lot of time for it since they
want to meet you first always.
you tell them that you are a CCNP but they say job requirement is for CCNA.
:) (for people who don't know, a CCNP already gets CCNA...cisco
requirement)
Sara
