Agency Recruiters

Agency recruiters are professionals employed by recruitment agencies to assist companies (that is, their clients) in finding suitable employees. They source and screen candidates, conduct interviews, and present the most qualified individuals to their clients. Companies hire recruitment agencies to reduce their workload of hiring top talent and yet, leave it in talented hands.

What is the difference between a corporate recruiter and an agency recruiter?

A corporate recruiter works in-house for one company and hires specifically for that organization. An agency recruiter works for a staffing firm and hires for multiple client companies, often filling roles quickly or on a contract basis.

How do I know if a recruiting agency is real?

To verify if a recruiting agency is legitimate:

• Check their website – Look for clear contact info, client lists, and job postings.
• Search for reviews – Look on Google, Glassdoor, or LinkedIn.
• Verify their presence – Real agencies usually have a professional LinkedIn page and active recruiters.
• Beware of red flags – Scams often ask for money upfront or make unrealistic job promises.
• Contact companies directly – If in doubt, call the employer they claim to represent.

Legit agencies are transparent, professional, and never charge job seekers
