Have you submitted multiple applications and uploaded your resume time and time again? Are you frustrated because a recruiter didn't get back to you? I mean, isn't that their JOB? I see this comment a lot and I recently read a great article in the Veteran Mentor Network group on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4466143/4 [login to see] [login to see] 7315 about it. See, the thing is, recruiters don't work for you. They work for whatever organization is paying them. They can certainly be an asset to you, but you have to know how to interact with them, and how to establish mutually beneficial relationships.

I am going to correct you, recruiters job is to select one or two out of hundreds, so no they will not call you back. So resort mutually beneficial relationships "La Palanca".

Isn't it the hiring authority's job to do the actual selecting, and the recruiters job to "recruit" I.e. create interest, sell, screen, accept applications, etc.?

I have done that several times and it is frustrating sometimes. I do understand that they receive several resumes and other documents daily for employment reason but I also think it would be nice to just let the applicant know where they stand in the employment process. One recruiter at Orion International did the same to me twice. She asked me to submit my resume for two different jobs call or email her back when I am done. I did what she said but its been months now and she hasn't responded back or at least let me know she received the application and my resume.
