Hi all.
I’ve almost reached the boiling point with recruiters. Most know nothing about the jobs you apply for, don’t market you properly, don’t pay you fairly, or usually aren’t even responsive at all. Rather than continue adding to long list of gripes about them, I’m seeking ways to eliminate my dependence on them by persuading clients to deal with me directly.
What I’m searching for are reasons why a client would deal with me directly instead of forcing me to go through a recruiter. For those who have succeeded in overcoming this problem, could you provide some practical examples of things you’ve done?
Your suggestions may take a long time to implement and the results may not be immediate or guaranteed. But, at least I’m willing to commit myself to the right path.
For those who have nagivated this obstacle or know of others who have, feel free to contribute. Thanks.
