Before engaging with a recruiter, check them out on social media. Are they saying credible things or are they simply using the platform to spam their followers with jobs? Are you being listened to? You should get a feeling very quickly as to whether it’s worth pursuing a business relationship. If you feel that you’re being pushed into roles that don’t suit you, find someone else who will listen and only discuss roles that you want to hear about.

A good recruiter should at the very least understand your job role and what is required to sri lanka phone number resource do it well. If they haven’t grasped the basics, then it’s likely that they don’t really understand what the client requires either. That could lead to your time being wasted on interviews that are unsuitable but where you have been ‘sold to’ relentlessly just so the recruiter can put another interview down for that week.
The relationship must be two-way and consistent. You shouldn’t feel that you have to chase all the time to understand where you are in the process or worse, having to chase for feedback after an interview without a response.

Finally, how well does the recruiter represent the client and its brand? Do they really understand what the client is trying to achieve from the job role they are recruiting for? Look especially at the care and attention the recruiter takes when advertising the role and talking to you about it. Any lack of detail or understanding should make you think twice about letting that person represent you to the client.
