Recruitment
Beware of pesky recruiters…
“We were warned about recruiters at Uni – they take a cut of your salary & will keep hassling you!”
Recently shared by an early career OT & not the first time we’ve heard a comment like it.
There’s a lot of noise around recruiters & sometimes it feels like an uphill battle trying to prove you’re not a snake in the grass. 🐍😄
Most recruiters I know are good people who care about their clients & candidates & are simply trying to do a good job.
A key part of our role is following up, which can be perceived in different ways depending on the stakeholder & situation. Most of the time, we are not trying to pressure anyone, just to keep momentum & achieve an outcome for all.
If you’ve had a bad experience, I’m sorry & I hope as an industry we continue to do better.
If you have a relationship with a great recruiter, I hope they are a trusted advisor & add value to your life, the way we aim to with our candidates.
PS. We won’t take your pay, ever 😊
