Recruiter Protocol for Pre-Existing Apps
Posted: Thu May 03, 2018 5:46 pm
About a month ago, a friend submit my materials to their firm in case a position opened up.
A week after my friend submitted my app internally, I started using a recruiter who has since gotten me a few interviews. My friend's firm is now inquiring about an interview. How does this work with the recruiter? Do I just tell them that I had a pre-existing application and that's that?
Curious because interviewing with either firm will require travel and I would like to schedule both firms' interviews at the same time. The firms will inevitably want to split costs and the recruiter will inevitably find out.
