So this may be the wrong place to ask, but I’m curious if anyone has ever heard of headhunters that work for a candidate? Almost every recruiter and firm that I’ve seen only works on behalf of a company, or only cares if you match a role that they’re searching for.

I’ve always wondered if there are services were people will search on your behalf. Paid is fine as it is a pain now with everything being distilled down with AI.

    Both my wife and I found industry specific headhunters with them being healthcare and engineering focused. I would think high level IT has some bleed in with Engineering. X4 Engineering recruiting was the most aggressive company I worked with and had me with an interview within a week or initial contact. Google was our friend to start with, and I’ll be the first to say that recruiters are extremely hit or miss. Some I feel do nothing…
