Recruiters manage many active jobs in the marketplace and can be a tremendous source of market intelligence. They can also provide you with insight on how to become more competitive, including giving you feedback on your resume and your interview skills. Therefore, it's in your best interest to identify good recruiters and make them part of your career network. Just as with all professionals, there are good recruiters and there are bad recruiters. You may learn that the hard way, or you can do yourself a favor and spend some time up front doing your do diligence. You want to ensure your recruiter is experienced, and has a credible reputation. After all, they will be representing you in the job market, and you want to be associated with a true professional.
If you end up working with a questionable recruiter, it may end up working against you. There are lots of ways to get the scoop on recruiters - namely, from the companies you want to work for. Find out which recruiters they use. Ask your friends and colleagues which recruiter or search firm they would recommend. Internet searches, directory searches and phone calls can go a long way to identify good recruiters and to find out what specific searches they've done.
