[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:59 again. My question is do companies hire recruiters to pretend they have a job opening just to test someone's loyalty to the company? I've gotten a lot of calls and messages from people who can't tell me even what general area of the country a job is available or ask personal questions first without explaining the job. Its gotten to where I don't trust who the people say they are anymore. [/quote]

I’ve never heard of that practice ever. Headhunters/Recruiters are expensive af. 30% of ee base salary. So say you make 150k middle management at a F500 if what you are imagining is true, your company is paying a recruiter 45k bucks to test your loyalty?? We will do a Silent Search to test who is Out There for an actual but rare role that we may have coming up. Like for example Head of AI Enablement (these are starting to pop up and who know what the jobs really are). It’s new. It’s rare. We don’t know what we want. We would toss money at a firm to see what capabilities are out there, what skills people have, who would jump ship, what it would take comp wise to make them jump. Etc. But that is different than your mild paranoia. Look, just like recruiters check you out, it’s pretty easy for you to vet a recruiter. LinkedIn. Then go to the firm website. Confirm their role. Don’t talk to just anybody who is ringing you up. [/quote]
