Recruiters play a vital role in the entire hiring process from start to finish. A recent study showed that 89% of job seekers say they accept an offer faster when working with a recruiter. It's not uncommon for recruiters to conduct the first round of interviews for an open position. Meeting with a recruiter can provide opportunities to get inside information for later interview rounds. Asking strategic questions can also help job seekers decide if they're interested in the role.
