I find that a lot of people on here just talk out of their ass in regards to the unemployed. If you’re not in the position to locate a job, you don’t really have a clue as to what is going on. I’m in Florida and i’ve applied for positions out of state. I’m willing to move and I had one recruiter tell me they almost didn’t consider me because they didn’t think I would relocate.
Recruiters are an evil group to deal with. I’d almost rather deal with bail bondsman when it comes to how crooked they are. I notice when they ask for salary range, they always manage to just squeek at your minimum. They really know how to play this market up.
I’ve worked at places, same job so I know the recruiters were getting the same rates, and some people were paid $16/hr some $22/hr.
