Using different recruiter 1 month apart

[BolshieBastard]

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it on the forum.

I was submitted to a position at a company, but never heard back from the recruiter.

About a month later, another position came up:
- different recruiter
- same company

Normally, I wouldn't consider being submitted twice. However, I've compared the two positions and the job description is very different to the original one.

Is it ok to submit with the 2nd recruiter?

Thanks!

This is why when applying for any role you specifically mention via email to the agent they only have exclusivity for X days, where X is your preferred number ie 2, 3, 4 etc.

A month apart you should not have an issue but its still possible it may be.

I see. But you have no way of knowing if they've submitted you or not.

Maybe the solution is to simply apply directly afterwards every time. And if they say we've already got your CV through agent, just say great, you weren't sure if they agreed to send it.

What do other folks do?

submitting three other CV's to client before yours (or up to his limit), then telling you you've been submitted so you don't compete for the roll through someone else

Hit the nail on the head, as usual nothing stops them from the unethical practices. I'll insist on a week's exclusivity now - no more.
