AKA an external or independent recruiter, is a professional hired by companies to help them find and screen candidates for job openings. Unlike in-house recruiters who work directly for a specific company, third-party recruiters are external entities, often employed by staffing agencies or working independently. They connect employers with potential employees, seeking to match candidates with the right job opportunities based on their skills and qualifications. I order for these third party recruiters to make money, candidates must meet all criteria. Third party recruiters de-risk the hire, this warranting a premium to be paid for the recruiting service.
