When trying to work with a search firm you may hear, “I
can’t place you.” There are a variety of reasons why that may be true. Keep in
mind that it’s not personal and you can still find a job but that specific
recruiter can’t help you. Bottom line: the client is paying the recruiter a fee
so they get exactly the person they want.
- You are out of the recruiter’s specialized field
- You want to move into a new job or industries – most of our clients want people straight out of their industry – they want the industry expert
- You’ve job hopped too much. Clients don’t like to pay a fee for this type of background
- You have no degree. In tech recruiting and some project manager jobs degrees don’t always matter but most of our clients want that basic skill
- You have a very unusual background/skill sets that are niche
