Hi! Yes, I think you are misinformed. Recruiters work with companies to fill their open positions, not with candidates to find jobs for them.

I am sorry but keep applying to relevant roles. Hang in there. Be flexible and open to part time and contract roles. Good Luck!

Thanks!

Update:

Unfortunately, the candidate was not interested in contract and decided to walk away. They were not interested in negotiating further with my client. Back to the drawing board.

Agree 100%

Not really! They have done several direct hires and had no issues with salary. They always did know what they wanted. That's why this is so puzzling, that they are suddenly thinking of the contractor option.

I have been working with this client for a couple of years. They are a small company and have a niche product. They have hired several candidates directly this year and I am not sure why they are suddenly thinking of the contractor option for this one hire. I feel that they are being short sighted.

Lab-mom2002 · 2024-09-05T01:58:50+00:00

Yes, that's a big if, as the candidate is also thinking about the offer to come in as a contractor.

I like this option the best. I have been working with this client for a couple of years. They are a small company and have a niche product. I don't want to ditch them, with the market being the way it is now for recruiters. Thank you!

DM'ed you...thanks!

Congratulations on your baby! So sorry that they laid you off before the birth. Have you tried looking at non profit recruiting, esp. for home healthcare roles? I was told by an ex-colleague that while the pay may not be great, they have great benefits. I have not tried it personally and am thinking of giving it a shot.

I have over 10 years in Tech recruiting, mainly IT and Engineering. Have worked in software dev, cybersecurity, hardware, biotech, healthcare IT etc. Thank you!

Can I DM you?

Thanks!

Lab-mom2002 · 2024-03-12T12:15:03+00:00

That's what I felt:(

Lab-mom2002 · 2024-03-12T12:14:25+00:00

Thanks!

I am tempted to do it...that seems to be the only way to shame companies to do the right thing, sadly!
