I am in the process of looking for a new position and after updating my on-line resume, I have received several calls from recruiters. Are there issues with having more than one looking for jobs for me?

I updated my resume last week and I have had a couple of recruiters call and was already working a couple that I used in the past to find people.

(3,387 posts)Ask if the recruiter deals with the outfit's "PRIME" vendors because you won't even get a nod if not. There are a lot of shops that now contract out a 3rd party HR as well, and these outfits are rarely useful in placing you before a company hiring manager. Those folks aren't interested in dealing with this hiring stuff - hence the 3rd party for everything from hiring to payroll to help the company avoid liability and accountability. Also, bottom-feeding recruiters get paid per submission and could care less if they score a hire - your resume will be submitted to the great circular file.
