The a mount of hiring done through recruiters has reached all time highs. Suppose that you have decided you need to make a career move. This article is a compilation of the most important qualities to look for in a recruiter. Although, my speciality is placing software development professionals, the principles outlined in this article should be applicable for other specialties. A good recruiter can learn what it takes to be good in no less than four years.
Many rookies try recruiting because they heard it is lucrative, but fail within one to two years.

The recruiter has been able to learn what are valuable skills and can help you market these skills correctly.
