Should I Pay a Recruiter to Find a Job?

San Antonio Career Coach | Business Coaching | Personal CoachingI know it is tempting to consider paying a recruiter to find a job because you have been out of work for a while and the economy is still unstable.  But there are many reputable recruitment agencies that will search for employment for you at no fee.  The fee is paid by the employer.  Even if you pay a recruiter, there is no guarantee that they will find you a job that is commensurable to your experience, and in a reasonable amount of time.

To avoid the chance of a scam or to find yourself in debt to a recruitment agency, the best thing to do is to work with a recruitment agency that is paid by the employer.  This way you have a better chance of landing a position that is a better fit for you.

Instead of leaving your job search totally up to a recruiter, be active in your own job search.  It is your responsibility to determine what kind of company you want to work for and to communicate to these companies how you are the right choice for their organization and how you will overcome their challenges and move them in the right direction.

It is a good idea to use recruitment agencies, networking, Monster.com, CareerBuilder, workforce commission, and other resources to find employment but you must still take control of your own career.
