Find a recruiter. Just started working with one and she told me that companies (in my industry at least) will work directly with a recruiting company to find talent, because public job postings these days get like hundreds of applicants that might not even be qualified for the job. I am now convinced that this is how most hiring is done and just going around doing a bunch of job applications by hand is a complete waste of time and energy.
I've been wondering about this lately, as I'm unhappily employed but don't want Indeed to be the only place I window shop.
The challenge is, I'm not really sure what to look for in terms of "good" recruiters. Based on your recent experience, do you have any tips or advice you'd be willing to offer?
