Using Multiple Recruiting Firms
It is appropriate to use multiple search firms if you are interested in several industries and geographical areas. Look for firms that specialize in the different areas that you are interested in. If you are concerned about confidentiality, this may not be the best route to go, however, since your information will be spread among many different places.
Apply Discretion
If discretion is a priority, sending your information to multiple search firms might make you more active on the job market than you originally planned to be. Most industries are close-knit, and more than one candidateīs resume has ended up on his supervisorīs desk, or the person has been called into his bossīs office because his boss got word from a connection in another company that the person was looking.
