Duplicate of Is it OK to bypass the recruiter when I don't hear from him? | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 18:27 | comment | added | Dean MacGregor | One thing that I didn't notice on the first read is you said that "I can't go after the client direct until a year after departure." but you didn't go after the client direct you did it through another recruiter. Does your contract specify when you can enlist another recruiter? As you've laid the facts out, it doesn't appear you've violated the contract. | |

| Jul 25, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | John | @DeanMacGregor The first recruiter called me up for another gig, I informed him I have a job and can't do it unless it's remote. Recruiter asked where and I told him. It didn't even cross my mind that the first recruiter sent my info over 10 months earlier, likely because I never received an interview. Generally, I turn down recruiters that want to represent me where I have already been represented by another. At what point does a recruiter lose their right to represent, especially if they did a poor job in doing so. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 17:00 | comment | added | Dean MacGregor | @John I'm curious what prompted you to call your first recruiter to tell them of the success of the second recruiter? | |

| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | John | @JasonJ. In my contract the non-compete only applies to termination of employment, nothing to do with being represented. Would the representation be somewhere in a recruiters contract? Note that there is no Right to represent clause in the contract. I'm not out to stiff recruiters, they have gotten me gigs when I can't, I just don't like the limitations imposed if the recruiter fails to get me in for one reason or another. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:22 | comment | added | JasonJ | In many cases I think the answer to this has to do with the relationship between the recruiter and the client but for most that I have worked with, once you are submitted by a recruiter they own your placement at the client for at least 6 months. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:21 | comment | added | John | The terms with the recruiter is that I can't go after the client direct until a year after departure. In my scenario, a recruiter represented me to his client, did not get an interview, moved on. 10 months later a different recruiter represented me to the same client and got the job. I informed the first recruiter that represented me, as expected he was not pleased, but it didn't matter because I never worked there and this client is no longer his. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:13 | comment | added | PeteCon | You seem to be blaming the recruiter because the employer didn't want you. Maybe, just maybe, the employer didn't think you were a good fit for the position. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:12 | comment | added | Myles | Did you sign anything or receive terms and conditions from the recruiter? | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 15:12 | comment | added | Amy Blankenship | I think the recruiter owns that job, not that client. | |
