Recruiter Friend or Foe

I have not been doing a whole lot of job “searching” these days. It turns out that I have two very good possibilities that I am following through. One is a job that I really want, but there is about a 50/50 chance of my being the chosen candidate. The other is only a so-so opportunity that will “put me back in the game. I can tell you one thing…I am tired of looking right now. I have run into two fantastic recruiters in my travels recently and I think I will sit back for a while and let them look for me.

What is your experience with recruiters out there in the marketplace? I have found that for the most part, many of them are just collecting resumes (just in case). It has been difficult for me to build relationships with the voice on the other end of the line when they are no longer interested in me as an individual and what I can offer their client. I miss the old recruiter/candidate relationship. Like I said, I have two that I finally feel that “old feeling of being appreciated”. Tell me your recruiter experience.

I will be happy to share the names of my two new "knights in shining armour" with you at your request!
