Why do recruiters give out false hope? I have been looking for a new position for a few months, and talked with several recruiters around the country. In our initial conversations, the response is very positive regarding my resume, and they are saying that their clients are looking for someone like myself. They send my resume to them, and when I follow up a few days or a week later, I typically don't get a peep out of them. If there is something in my work history that disqualifies me for a position, just tell me instead of giving me a reason to think I may be a good candidate. Why do recruiters do this? Just be upfront, so I can move on to another opening. Thoughts?

Hi Ron, This tends to happen sometimes with Recruiters. Like every industry, not everyone you deal with is going to be the best at getting back to you (even though they should). One thing to remember about them, is that they are working for you. They aren't making money unless they place you in a position and even after that, it's coming from the employer, not the candidate. They may not be getting feedback from their clients as well, so that could be causing the delay. BUT I do agree with you, that following up with someone you are doing business with is a very important thing. I wouldn't let this deter you from working with Recruiters, as they will work hard to place you in a role, because that is how they make their living. You just need to find the right match. I hope this is helpful.
Good luck on your search! -Mark
