Maybe things have changed in the days since I was in contact with recruiters, but in my experience, recruiters are paid by the company doing the hiring and therefore definitely have the company’s best interests in mind. Of course, they need to entice topnotch candidates so they’ll be trying to cultivate good relationships with attractive candidates, but they are not working for the candidate, they’re working for the company.
But, maybe things have changed dramatically in the last few years with the economic downturn…are you saying that there are recruiters out there who are hired by jobseekers?
