Curious to see if anyone has had any good experience with a headhunter. Holla at me if you have. I'm in the market for a change.

 

i've used two different guys, and they both landed me jobs. they both got pushy at one point or another, so you have to be ready to push back. otherwise, they'll land you in some crap ass place.

 

did they pass on the expense to you or to the company they landed you in?

 

they got a cut from the companies that hired me.

 

Were you pleased with the outcome? Enough money, something you enjoy doing (as much as you can enjoy work).

 

both times, yes. but like i said, you have to be prepared to push back. if it were up to the recruiters, they would have had me accept the very first offer i got, even if i didn't like it.

it's up to you to decide on whether you'll like the job, and whether it'll be worth the pay.

 

Most headhunters here get a number that equals %20 of your salary.

 

I am a headhunter. You don't happen to work in telecom do you?

 

I currently work for a school district in Kansas City, and worked for Sprint for 5 years before that.
