Anybody Ever Move From Working For Recruiting Agency to the Actual Company?
A recruiting company reached out to me through LinkedIn for a job that is probably my dream job. I have a friend that works for the company, and confirmed that the recruiting company is legit, and the company is moving more toward using recruiters to find people for roles than doing it themselves. Nothing about this so far has raised flags of a scam. I've actually worked for this company before in a freelance capacity, and the job description is spot on with what I know about them.
The role is for a 1 year contract with potential for renewal. However, the position is a W2 position with the recruiting company with their benefits, not the actual company I would be working for.
I am just curious how this works long term. The company has not posted this position publicly, so I could not go around the recruiter and just apply directly. And my friend told me that they sometimes hire people full time from recruiters if the position is critical and needs to be filled.
I know this is a thing I would want to specifically as the recruiter/company about, but I'm curious about if others have had experience shifting from working for the recruiter to the company itself and how that happened.
