Here’s a current San Francisco Examiner article written in September about recruiters. The article is written in an interview format. Although this article focus is about technical recruiters, the answers the recruiter gives reinforces the need for a LinkedIn account and participating in LinkedIn groups.

Good article. Although it primarily addresses the IT industry some of the points have general applications. I liked the recruiter’s perception that more firms these days have a “no jerks, no egos” hiring policy. How do they filter the jerks and egomaniacs, though? I also wondered about the suggested ethical conflict where a candidate applies to a firm both directly and through a recruiter. Mr Sutherland said that shows dishonesty but couldn’t it just be someone trying their best to get out there to as many potential employers as possible? How much control do they have about who the recruiters contact? I guess it’s an argument for meticulous record keeping in who you apply to.
