You do bring up a good point that outside recruiters come with their own issues as well.

Honestly, I’ve tried outsiders as both a recruiter and hiring manager and am rarely satisfied with the results for many the issues you shared.

I was contacted by three different agencies trying to fill the same position, and one of the recruiters stated, “If anyone else contacts you about this job, tell them you’re working only with ME!” Frankly, the only loyalty I have is to the recruiter or agency who can get me hired, not the one who’s most persistent or aggressive, or the one who makes the job sound most attractive. One recruiter lured me into a lengthy interview process with a promise of a high salary, then when it came time to accept, the offer was significantly less. I wouldn’t have even considered working for their client if the salary wasn’t good, and suddenly the recruiter seemed to have amnesia concerning the original high offer. So the hiring process broke down at that point. I was disappointed, the client wanted to know why I was suddenly backing out, and the recruiter was desperately trying to keep both of us happy and save face. These experiences have made me very suspicious of some recruiting firms. Why can’t companies hire through their own HR departments, using people who know what the company needs?
