Is there a downside to being so widely distributed by the contingency recruiting industry?
Yes. Whenever a contingency recruiter submits your resume to an employer you could have identified and contacted yourself, it will cost that employer a stiff recruiting fee to hire you — typically 25% to 35% of annual compensation. There’s a price tag on your head! You may lose out to another fine candidate with no $30k or $100k or $200k fee.
