Recruiters?

I would guess timing is everything. Most days I wouldn't want to hear from you. But there are days most drivers are disgruntled and those days will be your lottery. Be passively persistant. Check in maybe twice a month and never ever be pushy. Keep it short and sweet. Always ask how it's going with current company and if it is not going well you have a potential for a lengthy and possibly rewarding wait.

 

What xls said. Just don't be "the average recruiter" and you'll be fine. My own opinion of recruiters is kept strictly on an individual basis. But I know a lot of people expect to be lied to, so if you keep your information accurate (even the "I don't knows" and "I can't promise thats" ) then you may increase your numbers simply through appreciation. Recruiters are like drivers who are like every other job: you have some who just want to slip into a pattern, and you have others who take pride in whatever they're doing and try to make a difference for themselves and their industry. The choice is yours.

 

I understand the position but if you try to sidestep the issue, people may see it as being shady. I'd just be straight up and tell drivers exactly what you said here. I would think most of us can understand that.
