Not op but how do people get connected with these reputable recruiters with amazing connections? Word of mouth?
The ones I've ever worked with (either they contacted me or I contacted them via LinkedIn) seemed mediocre at best.

Also when the mediocre ones contact you who do they work for? Look at the rep of their employer not your personal impression of them.

Be in an in-person healthcare field, especially on night shift. My boss denied me my vacation and I had another job offer with a 30% raise in less than 12 hours.

Networking and meditation.

My boss years back got job specs and then circumvented the headhunter and went to board members they knew. Pissed off the headhunter forever.
