How do you get the truth when dealing with Recruiters?

I avoided companies with a recruiter, Problem solved.
If a trucking company requires dozens of traveling / desk jockey craigslist recruiters, Major Malfunction and avoid like the Super Ebola HIV.



This is not the military

The best companies to work for (with some exception) absolutely do not have recruiters. Why? They don't need them. What they do have is HR staff that will screen applicants and oftentimes conduct an initial one on one interview before passing the applicant along to the hiring manager who will also conduct an interview. Ya know, like a real company would do in any line of work.......

If I have to deal with a recruiter to get hired, then I am looking at the wrong company.

Even for new drivers there is no reason to ever have to deal with a recruiter. Unfortunately most new drivers are too lazy to do the work necessary to find companies that will hire new drivers that do not have recruiters.

 

some companies (and i have been through this) have a 3rd party hiring service to do all the paper work on an applicant and then send them to the hiring company. these are NOT recruiters however, only a "hiring service" as i would know it to be.

and this is from a temp agency that specializes in truck driving jobs. i have been through this at least twice in my time. but i call it a hiring service.
