As my children were entering grade school, it felt like the right time for me to reenter the working world. Knowing that the software industry had advanced since my last job, searching for something new felt daunting. That's why when an opportunity appeared at a recruiting firm, it seemed like the perfect switch and just what our family needed.Up until that point, my experience with firms was as a client. I remember interviewing engineers sent to us by contingency firms and I was usually underwhelmed. When I found out the cost of hiring one of those engineers, I was shocked! It felt very suspicious that all the engineers we interviewed asked for the top of our pay range, as if someone may have tipped them off. Social media is full of videos posted by job applicants outlining the underhanded tactics used by some recruiters.It was clear to me that there had to be a better, more transparent way for companies to access the services of a recruiting firm without breaking the bank.
