Fire Your Recruiter!

Fire Your Recruiter!™

Looking For A New Job Opportunity Or Career Change?

If you're like most of us, when you're looking for a new job or career opportunity, one of the first things you immediately think about is contacting a recruiter, executive search consultant or headhunter.

Perhaps you're even working with one now.

And why not? It seems like the most logical, efficient and effective way to go, doesn't it? After all, a recruiter has "all the answers", "tons of experience" and knows the industry like nobody's business: The client, the hiring manager and they do this for a living -- best of all, it won't cost you a thing. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

Or will it?

What possibly could go wrong? Well, a lot actually. The recruiting and job search industry is notoriously opaque and riddled with informational asymmetries.

It's also full of traps and pitfalls that can cost you dearly.
Dearly in terms of job opportunities, job offers, lower starting salaries and worst of all, even your reputation.

Until now.
