More Unethical Headhunters And How To Protect Yourself From One

Let’s get one thing straight: there are a lot of great external recruiters/headhunters out there. But for every great recruiter, there are plenty of horror stories, too. In that spirit, we offer this cautionary tale from Nick Corcodilos’s Ask The Headhunter newsletter. Essentially, a jobseeker got an offer from a great company, and then “her” headhunter sent the company a bill. The company then backed out, saying their policy excludes headhunters. What the heck? First of all, this sucks, and second of all, how did this happen?

Corcodilos responds, and it isn’t pretty.
