Recruiters! You’re feeding on dead-end positions; chasing after them like hungry vultures; willing to compromise for an organization that will not give you repeat business.
You’re feeding on dead-end positions; positions that have no legitimacy or strategic direction, no growth trajectory for top prospects, no upper management support, and will likely end in termination or resignation of the hired employee within a year.
This cycle has repeated itself time and time again, and you’re guilty by association.
You’re complicit in this hoax of a hiring process by accepting these types of roles from hiring managers that are looking to exploit the most vulnerable the marketplace has to offer.
Top performers don’t trust you, and rightfully so. Why would I put my career and family’s well being in the hands of someone who operates out of desperation and purely transactionally?!
You have been biting the fee bait, taking anything dangled in front of you, and feeding this into the marketplace.
We have a responsibility to the people, families, and corporations we represent to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
There are times when you will have to walk away from something (or someone) to guard the integrity of what you do as a profession. This test will come to all of us.
If not you, then who? If not now, then when?
