Handling IT Recruiters
IT recruiters are a fact of life for IT professionals. The information technology market is so hot that IT staffing firms and IT headhunters are and probably will be a fixture for a long time. IT consultants tend to have mixed feelings about how to deal with technical recruiters, but here are a few basic guidelines.
Firstly, establish relationships with IT staffing agencies before you are polishing your resumes. This means that when you do need them, IT recruiting firms will have already looked at IT jobs for you.
Secondly, consider the IT recruiting companies you’re working with as professional contacts. While they may not be the company you work for directly, it’s important to consider that they will be representing you. Giving them the most professional version of yourself will yield the best results.
Lastly, be honest with IT recruiting companies you are working with. You will get the best job for you if you give them good information. If you lie about a qualification, interest, or your salary expectations, you’ll wind up with a job offer (or worse, a job) that doesn’t make sense for you.
