IT recruiters. Haven't applied for a job in almost 10 years...all jobs since then have been via recruiters contacting me.

Indeed and LinkedIn.

Third party recruiters are essentially useless in my field of work. They can be useful in IT, which explains @BackInTheGame78 having success with them. I've also heard they can be useful in finance too.

The information in each issue of The SoSuave Newsletter is too powerful for most guys to handle. If you are an ordinary guy, it is not for you. It is meant for the elite few. Not the unwashed masses.

If you know you can handle it...

But if you're just an average Joe, an ordinary guy, no one special – then skip this. It is not for you.

Anyone in IT who doesn't get in with local recruiters is basically losing money and potentially a LOT of money. They literally do all the work for you in terms of negotiating salary and you can tell them up front like I do that I am only interested in jobs paying "x" amount of dollars.

The last 3 job switches I have made all came with $15-20K raises. Effectively tripled my salary in 7 years

Interesting, I found my previous IT job through a recruiter (Allegis Group, not going specify which subsidiary) who I hated and still do to this day. I found a replacement job on my own on Indeed and it was a 65% pay increase...

Job switching is by far best way to rapidly increase your pay, but I don't see what that has to do with recruiters. Who have you used before?

Local recruiters are the best, at least for me since I am not interested in contract jobs across country that the bigger national companies seem to always send.

I have 2 or 3 places I am in good with after going in and interviewing with them in person, and they have gotten me 2 of my last 3 jobs. The other was a direct recruit from the employee itself.

Because job switching is much easier when you have recruiters doing most of the grunt work for you and filtering out jobs they are getting based on what you want. No wasted time in the process. No interviewing only to find out they aren't offering you the type of money you need to consider a job switch.

I'm an IT recruiter, worked 8 years in various companies got tired of listening to people and making them money so set up my own firm when covid hit. Bigger firms like Allegis will take bigger margins on your rate (if freelance) but have more clients if looking for a permanent move, so as @BackInTheGame78 said local/smaller firms are best for IT contracting or any contacting tbf. More bespoke service and better comms. Just find someone specialising in your niche. I specialise in global HRIS and HR Transformations - SAP/SuccessFactors and Workday predominantly. Greenfield projects to optimisation/go-live support. also pretty much anything in Change and Transformation.

I picked up casino client 3 years ago and landed and expanded to most of the online gambling companies in UK, Latvia, Estonia, Malta, Isle of Man etc - mostly Java, Scala, and Typescript engineers and UX/UI Designers creating games. Lot's of money there obviously.

There is a recruiter for every field, arts, marketing, surveying, manual labour jobs, driving, healthcare etc, as someone in the game for 10+ years I do recommend them (recruiters).

I recommend the maritime industry. Good money for who is starting. If you have sea-time and do some courses to upgrade, you make even more money and you don't have to compete with a lot of people to get there (compared to the finance industry).

Pro-tip for direct approach;

If you come across a job advert you want, on any site. Go to LinkedIn, search the company, hit employees, then search "Head of HR/Head of Talent/HR Director/(workstream lead - ie. Lead of your job title), then connect with them. Once accepted, directly message that person with your CV and some key skills correlating to the requirements of the job.

An example of the opening message;

"Hi Kevin, I saw you're recruiting for XYZ, here's my profile. I'm immediately available for interview. I have X years in ABC with Y years in 123.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
SoSuave Beta Male"
