I’ve used recruiters in the past and have had good success. Not sure what it is but recruiters now are getting super annoying. Reaching out for multiple roles and then ghosting entirely even after follow ups. Then randomly popping up with more roles like they didn’t just go ghost on you. If a company doesn’t want to move forward, not that hard to just say that instead of ghosting. Especially in a “relationship” business. Anyone else seeing this?

Agreed. Even more annoying is when they ask what you are seeking and you clearly explain but they continue to send uninteresting roles.
Also, super annoying when they message you about a role that sounds intriguing to solicit your resume and contact number. Then when you discuss on phone, the role is not what you thought it would be based on the initial message.
Anyone following the self-proclaimed "reverse recruiting," "career finesser" influencer on LinkedIn? She's that ex-Meta recruiter (read: worked @ Meta for < 6 months) that went viral for posting a TikTok video saying she got paid $190K to do nothing.
She uses LI daily as her Twitter-canvas and posts "advice" that are very opinionated and borderline not true. She re-defines what a hot take is.
She says it's not a relationship business. It's a transactional business and she does not care about individual candidates. Her views are beyond my logic.
I mean, if you read WSO then I don't know how you conclude anything other than this. Whatever else she may believe, she's just revealing the man behind the curtain when she says that headhunting is a transactional business. It's insane that anyone believes otherwise - you aren't forging a years-long relationship with your recruiter/headhunter, you're spending 3 hours with them explaining what you want, having them find you a job, and basically never speaking to them again unless you want a new role. That isn't a relationship, it's a transaction
The “relationship” part comes into play when you do want to make another move down the line, or if you’re referring someone. No one is asking for a recruiter to be your friend, simply to communicate like an adult.
I don't disagree with you. Should've elaborated what she said. She doesn't even spend 3 hours, let alone 30 mins with a candidate. She seems to be an absolute volume shooter, which is different from our corporate finance industry. One of many problems I have with her view is that she talks as if her recruiting experience = universal across all level & industry.
The Bachrach Group are clowns of the highest magnitude.
100%. They bait & switch like crazy. Would never entertain them.
Probably counter to this post but... Why don't recruiters reach out to me via LI? I've never interacted with one so I'm not familiar with the process but am I supposed to reach out to them/their firm to show interest first? If it's standard for them to contact you first I don't think I'm such an unattractive candidate so confused why I'm not getting pinged.
