Here's a question for you as a recruiter, from me as a potential employee:

How do I find a recruiter like you?

Right now, I work with two different recruiters, at two different agencies local to me. Both have placed me in great positions; my current position is one (and I am not looking for a position currently).

But say, in the future, I want to find a recruiter who knows software development, from the low-level nuts-n-bolts (coding), to design, deployment, business, etc - what would be the best way I could find that person?

I think having a contact like that might be valuable, since not only could they recommend the fit, if they serve as an initial "gatekeeper" to an interview, but they might also offer tips and other advice helpful for positions. I'm not looking to replace my current recruiters; both are great guys and work well with me. But augmenting them might be worthwhile.




I'm easy to find.

Finding someone local to you, well, you'll have to ask around.

But how do you know if the recruiter is qualified to assess coding skills?
