Using recruiters can help if you’re at the right level
What is your opinion on using headhunters for a job search?
RECRUITERS, also known as headhunters, work for the companies, not for the people seeking employment.
If your background suits a position a recruiter needs to fill, he will be interested in your résumé. If not, he can place you in his database for future searches that come his way. Recruiters generally work with high-level and mid-level management jobs. Some recruitment companies only place employees making $100,000 a year or more; some may focus on those making $50,000 or more. If you are in that category, it’s also worth a shot.
