Ask HN: Reverse Recruiting

1 pointsby throwaway724over 5 years ago
Hi everyone. Going anon for obvious reasons. I&#x27;m a C-Level exec who just got semi-mutually moved from my position. It wasn&#x27;t a good fit, but sucks nonetheless.<p>Anyway, I get a decent amount of inbound recruiting from LinkedIn, but I was curious if there is any (or if it&#x27;s advisable) to go the other direction -- to work with an agency and let them know that I&#x27;m available. I know the pyramid narrows quite a bit at the C-Level.

2 sides of the same coin. You&#x27;ll work through headhunters, or you won&#x27;t. Whether they contact you, or you contact them, changes very little. Just make sure you&#x27;re choosing headhunters that actually serve the level you need. The vast majority probably aren&#x27;t. The ones that are, are known well enough that you won&#x27;t mistake them for another.
