Third Party Recruiters...Good or Bad ??

Bad. Most work for either companies that can't keep meat in the seat or companies that have no business being in trucking.

 

bad

totally idiotic. don't know anything about the company or the job they are recruiting for, have no answers and want you to fill out endless paperwork so they can take their cut.

and if the company cares so little about the position to use a recruiting service, i doubt they care much about their people either.

 

I would go directly to the company because they'll be the ones that have the final say so if you're hired or not.you can find a job quicker then them finding you one.

 

Their ads come up on Facebook and people comment, asking questions about the job. Same answer everytime:"Give us a call."

 

Horrible for the industry. They are just a 3rd party money maker who get a cut when they hire you to the company.

 

I've used head hunters in the past, turned me on to some interesting gigs. I never took any, as they were not quite what I was looking for. I would use them, as long as they are not charging you. If they ask for a credit card, hang up.
