Recruiters work in three different fashions;

Retained recruiters get their fees paid in advance

Contingency only get paid once their candidates are hired.

Exclusivity This is the case where the recruiter is the sole partnership in your search. You may find someone on your own but may have to pay a fee should you find someone with another recruiter.
What is best for you will depends on your needs.

All companies, agencies and independent recruiters use different techniques to find the right match. The bottom line is, they want to see you succeed. If you look good then they look good. A Network Recruiter, the recruiters that work at and with MindHR, work through networking first, contacting the people they know directly in the market place, rather then positing on job boards to fill a successful placement. They will find the candidates which you can not find yourself—because they are working on who you know. On the most part they will use techniques, you had not thought of or may not have even heard of, because it is not your domain of expertise.

What is the difference from an Agency Recruiter and The Network Recruiter?
The Network Recruiter stays close with candidates who aren’t looking today, so when they do looking, they know where to turn.

The Network recruiter receives their clients more through referrals then through cold calling because the best advertising is word of mouth.

As you know the market is changing, more and more companies are turning towards different resources to faster find the efficient means to fill their expectations.
