Career Help and Advice

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.

Here's hoping your experience in The Hunger Games varies, and you find some honesty and integrity in hiring practices.
