Job recruiters don’t require a college degree, certifications, licensing or accreditation. Fast-growing sectors, such as the tech industry, attract recruiters, some of whom might move on to the next hot industry later. Most job recruiters and firms work on a contingency basis, with no exclusivity offered or a monetary reward for trying, but not succeeding in the search. The life of a job recruiter is intensely competitive. The dynamics make the recruiter lavish time, attention and love on the few strong contenders.
