Headhunters ( recruiters hate that term) can sometimes get a bad rap. I worked for a recruiting company a few years ago, and I know from experience that they all vary. All though I am not a recruiter I have worked with many.
David Aplin Recruiting is excellent. When the recession hit hard, I was need of a job after a layoff. Within 2 weeks of registering with Aplin, I had a job. My recruiter Lara Montgomery was excellent. She assessed my job requirements and worked hard and fast for me to get me employed. A real go getter, she recognized that being unemployed was not fun, and got me back to work quickly.
Like most of these agencies, in addition to your interview with your recruiter you will be required to do some simple online assessment tests. You can do them from home online, very convenient.
I was and I am hopeful others are as well, treated with respect and care. I utilized Lara again at David Aplin when I was looking for a career change recently and I have now ended up in an excellent company. One of the things I like about Aplin is that not only did they find me a great job, but they encouraged me to think outside the box career wise, and it has been amazing.
Their offices are located right downtown on the 32nd floor and the views are amazing! This agency works hard to find you work...excellent company.
