re: Is being a "recruiter" the official job for people with no skills?

Somebody is butt hurt because they didn't get that job they were looking for.

When I was in the biotech industry, I knew several excellent recruiters in that industry. I would politely listen, and if the job wasn't for me, I would always send them a good candidate who could get and want the job they were placing for.

When one of my referrals would be placed, I would get a phone call from the recruiter thanking me for the referral. I would always tell them they could thank me by keeping me in mind for that perfect job and they knew what I was looking for.

A good recruiter is worth their weight in gold.

Trust me, you're thinking about this all wrong.
