  1. Relationships:  Recruiters have direct relationships with the companies they source for and can often fast-track your resume directly to a hiring manager. When you apply electronically to an online posting and never speak with a human or send an unsolicited resume directly to a company, you are likely to enter a black hole of hundreds of candidates who have done the same. – Adam Barron, Technical Resource Manager, EDI Staffing
    .
  2. Access Granted: Working with a recruiter gives you access to consulting & contract opportunities that are not typically posted on job boards or company websites. You could be missing out on various opportunities, just because they are simply not available to you. – Aron Gilbody,  National Account Manager, EDI Staffing
    .
  3. Job Descriptiona recruiter can typically provide key information and details about a job posting that are not actually listed within the job description. You’ll have the one up on the other applicants. –Barbara Feldman, Corporate Account Manager, EDI Staffing
