Is this okay?

hi everyone - I've started the process for searching for a closing role recently. I'm talking to multiple agency recruiters, is it okay to do that? I always let them know that I am speaking with other recruiters to be fully transparent. Like would a recruiter be mad if I'm talking to other recruiters? should I only talk to one recruiter at a time?

Are they at the same agency? If not, then definitely not.

Worry about yourself first.

They're not just talking to you, after all.

Different agencies contract with different employers. They might have a couple that overlap but you’ll be broadening your options by talking to multiple

Best of luck! As braintank suggested, I'd also be reaching out directly to companies you want to work for.

@Sunbunny31 Thanks, I’m going to need it. Not many companies are open to SDRs w/o closing experience

No. They should you bring the best role. Are you mad if your prospect is looking into competitors?

I would talk with as many as possible. You are never asked to sign a contract that you’ll only work with one recruiter. They aren’t always faithful to their clients either. Two way street.

Don't you worry, their job is to sell you the position and terms. You should even challenge them and negotiate by saying that another recruiter is proposing a better offer ;).
