Bit of an odd situation here.
HadI had a chat with a recruiter who told me of opening. Liked the role he was describing etc etc... Got the company name, and realised it was a role that I've already applied to. Recruiter still wants to represent me, and tells it would give a better chance for hire if the same application came through the agency.
I always thought it would look unprofessional to the employers for the candidate to submit multiple applications for the same role.
Is this true?
