Do recruiters sometimes copy company job ads and repost without the company name?
Do recruiters ever take job postings from companies and share them without mentioning the company’s name? Then, after receiving applications from around 50 candidates, do they choose a few and present them to the company with a pitch like, “I have the ideal candidate for you”?
Yes, that can happen. Some recruiters might repost job ads without the company name to cast a wider net and attract more candidates. By doing this, they can gather a pool of applicants and then present the most suitable candidates to the company as if they were their own finds. This practice isn’t necessarily ethical, but it does occur in the industry. It’s always best to research companies and jobs thoroughly and consider applying directly to the organizations whenever possible.
