Working with Recruiters Signing a non-compete or exclusive agreement

Working with Recruiters Signing a non-compete or exclusive agreement I found an interesting post on RecruitingBlogs by Paul Gumbinner, a recruiter. I love to hear what recruiters think about the job search process and job seekers. Their perspective can really help us refine our message and usually self-made systems. Pauls post is titled A New One On Me, and talks about his experience with a shady competitor that was doing something that was likely unethical.  Apparently, it is abundant in the recruiter space. Its an interesting story read it here. What really got me, though, was the comment from Sandra McCartt Sandra comments a lot on these posts and always has really good, fair input.  Check out this snippet from her comment: I tell candidates that when any recruiter asks them to sign any kind of contract or any agreement other than a permission to check references they should limit it to that specific job if they are dumb enough to sign anything at all. and later. I agree he was foolish to sign it. So what do you sign, with a recruiter?  Id love to get Nick Corcodilos to weigh in on this one but here is my take-away for today: Dont Sign Anything!!
