I'm graduating real soon and have been looking for engineering jobs. I posted my resume on Monster.com and have had several recruiters contact me. I've never dealt with recruiters before so I'm looking for more info and how the whole process works.
I've had several say they are advocating for me to maximize my base pay, which was a surprise to me. At first I would think they would be rewarded by the hiring company to find a good bargain, but it does make sense that the company would be willing to pay for talent. So do they get a commission based on my base salary?
Does a hiring company typically have competing recruiters recruit for one position?
Any tips for me to effectively work with recruiters to get a good position?
