Episode notes

What Recruiters Won't Tell You About Their Limits explains what even excellent recruiters cannot do for your career. A recruiter is not your personal agent, career coach, or permanent advocate, and many valuable opportunities never reach an external search firm. TJ Walker shows you how recruiter incentives, changing specialties, and employer relationships shape the help you receive. Learn why you must remain your own career advocate while still building productive recruiter relationships. This episode of The Headhunter's Shortlist is part of the Ultamize Personal Development Podcast Network.
