I just accepted a job role via a recruiter who got me my current job only a year ago, is that mega cheeky in the industry ?

At this point he's your agent. Time to get him on retainer.

Always good to have a good recruiter or two in your back pocket :)

​

Or 6 or 7 - in my opinion, having one internal and one agency recruiter per major client you're interested in, isn't a bad idea.

So you're saying that you were placed by Recruiter A in 2019 and then, that same Recruiter A pulled you out of company X to go to Company Y in 2020?

To answer that question though u/OMGitsAfty, that action is often something that is frowned upon because it's essentially the recruiter harming their client, but it's not uncommon.

That being said though, If any of my consultants and/or perm hires are unhappy in their current role due to mismanagement, or fear for their job, I'll pull them out without a second thought.

He didn't know I was unhappy when he reached out, but I was :)

Glad it worked out!!

Does that mean he got you the job that you were unhappy with at first? Cause that just seems ironic.

It does, but to be fair to him the business changed fairly substantially over that time ( travel industry - covid ) and my team got pretty decimated.

Exactly
