How to Work with a Recruiter to Find a Job
My first experience with a recruiter was in 2015 when I was working as a medical coder at a large hospital. I was approached by a recruiter from a smaller company that was looking for someone with my experience. I was immediately interested, as I was looking for a new challenge. I decided to give the recruiter a chance and met with him at a coffee shop to learn more about the position.
The recruiter was very professional and knowledgeable about the job market. After speaking with the recruiter for only ten minutes, I was already excited about the position. The only problem was that the recruiter told me that the hiring manager did not want to pay the salary I was expecting. I was disappointed, but I decided to pass on the opportunity. A few weeks later, however, the recruiter called me back and told me that the hiring manager was willing to negotiate. I was very excited to hear this news. I eventually accepted the position and ended up working at that company for four years.
