  • First of all, this post got me a bit worried about your mental health, is it possible you are under a lot of stress lately?

    You are expressing something that I have been thinking too lately. Third parties, aka recruiters in this case, cannot be impartial if they are paid by one of the parties involved.

    If you have an issue with your employer, you don’t go to the HR, you get a lawyer. A person fully representing your interest, equipped with the knowledge to actually do that.

    I think the same should be the case for employment seeking. It’s not that you cannot build a network of colleagues, keep up with market trends, navigate legalities, and identify whatever new bullshit benefit companies are offering. But, delegating this job to a person/entity that specialises in it would most of the time be better.

    Last but not least, I don’t think the term recruiter is appropriate, and I believe transitional recruiters are not going to be willing to help you.

    Best wishes on your effort!! Please keep us to date, I am interested to see where this leads!!
