I wanted to provide this article from a job seekers point of view. Like it or not, recruitment companies are firmly entrenched as part of the hiring landscape. However, all the evidence collected by Even It Up! seems to point to the fact that they notoriously over-promise and under-deliver?
How can we improve our standards, so that web sites/blog like Even It Up! do not have to exist? The 10 Things We Hate About Recruitment Companies include...
  • General position calls
  • Baiting
  • Pigeon-holing
  • Silence
  • Reference checks
  • They are not your 'agent'
  • Beware of the people not carrying pencils
  • Amateur hour
  • Once is never, twice is always
  • Gatekeeper status
