Legal recruiters get paid a nice penny when they place candidates. I’ve known this black legal recruiter for years and decided to work with him last year just off the love. In 13 months, he got me zero interviews. Every single interview I’ve had came from jobs I applied to directly. And the majority of the roles he ‘submitted me for’ were ones I found myself, I even just let him handle them so he’d get paid if it worked out. Then about three months ago, he ghosted me completely, right when he knew I was on the brink of getting fired.
