I understand I was just mentioning that people do try new things but the majority of managers and owners don't want to break a model that makes them serious coin, it will happen sooner or later but until then they will beat it to death.

I don't like the way I do business but I don't really have a choice in the company I am in. It all boils down to the business model of the recruitment companies and who owns them. Most recruitment company owners are people who have excelled at sales in recruitment and have risen up through the ranks to get enough money to fund their own ventures. They then want to rip people off to make as much money as possible, they see candidates as cattle and think there is enough companies out there to rip them off and still have a viable business model. I love all these start ups that are trying to disrupt the industry but your gonna have to lift you game to beat these people, they are quick and ruthless and the phone is their weapon, its the cheapest and most effective way to make money

So one part of a recruiters job is to find jobs to work in companies - companies don't just give you these you have to go and find them its a sales job. I mean you can see which companies are advertising on job boards and then call in and try and get the job on but 20 other recruiters have already done that, and most jobs aren't even advertised.

The easy thing to do is to call to get leads of candidates you are calling:

"oh you worked for IBM, great company, I work with John Smith did you work with him?" "No i work with Jane Doe" "Where are you interviewing at the moment?" "Facebook, Google, etc" "oh I'm working the Facebook role did you meet with Jim? "no i interviewed with Sam" "was that through a recruitment agency or direct" "agency" (This last question is great news because it means that the company are open to using agencies and not just looking direct on job boards)

The list goes on, most people are clued up but we do this day in day out we are tricky with our questions and most people will eventually 'bleed' as we say

Recruiter here.

We do not tell you the company name for a few reasons:

1. If we tell you the name of the company straight off the bat, the next recruiter will ask you some sneaky questions and get the details of the role under the guise of trying to find out where you are in the process of looking for a job. This works more times than you can believe.

2. Candidates will apply for the role directly because they hate recruiters or they think they can get a better rate.

3. Company has specifically mentioned not to disclose the name of the company until we are sure we have found the right candidate because of reason one, imagine getting calls from 10 recruiters in a day, not just that IT recruiters the worst kind of all!

Please note as well that most of these emails are not about this specific opportunity or getting to interested or compelled to apply its about finding out if you are looking for new work or open to new roles.

It works and its easy, its not right and it can be annoying but just email back the recruiter and mention you would like to see all the information you have on them as per the privacy laws in your country and they'll stop dealing with you pretty quickly.

do you make money from the restaurants advertising directly or adsense etc?
