My experience: I recruiter approached to me for a job opportunity. Generally from all Canadian recruiting firms tells me the end client. And for most company where I submit my resume they reveal to me the end client. What about the time when Recruiter doesn't want to reveal the end company but want you to just submit my resume! Am I not jeopardising my candidacy for dual submission? Most importantly when you being asked to sign the RTR, in which this recruiter want single submission without revealing the company! How safe is it to do so? This also gives uncertainty about was I even submitted for the job or not?
As a recruiter of over 20 years, NEVER ALLOW any recruiter to blindly send your resume without knowing the end client. Its also good practice to have your recruiter email you what's refereed to as a "Right to Represent". Its an email that when received outlines client details, your rate/hr Pay etc. Its then up to you to reply back stating that you give that recruiter permission to submit your profile. I know a lot of the dirty tactics used by recruiters because in many cases, they are paid on 100% commission, or a standard base salary plus commission. Personally, I think the industry needs to change where commission is replaced with "Retainer Fees". Maybe Hiring Managers and HR will respect the time and effort a Recruiter puts into finding niche skill sets. If a company is serious about sourcing top rated talent, then its time to get serious and start paying for a Recruiters efforts.
Helping companies drive revenue growth through strategic high-volume recruitment and staffing initiatives
1yIf a recruiter reaches out to you directly regarding a position, they genuinely believe that you are a good fit. They have a vested interest (money) in successfully placing you in the position. There are many reasons why a recruiter cannot or will not disclose the client on the first call. It could be a high-profile client that does not want to advertise the position (Google, Johnson & Johnson, Meta have all done this) or It could be a confidential search to replace an existing employee. The only time you lose, is when the recruiter tells you the name of the client, and then you apply directly. That shows the client at best that you are of low moral character, and at worst disqualifies you completely from the position. How safe is it to share your resume? Is there something on your resume you don't want a recruiter to see?
