  T here's an undeniable fact that the relationships between recruiters and candidates are getting fractious... But why? Well, the answer might be simpler than we think. The problem with Recruiters Let's face it, there are a ton of recruiters out there to choose from or who contact potential candidates on a daily basis - either because they've seen a profile on LinkedIn or found a CV on a job site like Indeed - but they come across a little too "bull in a China shop" when getting in touch. The amount of times I've had a recruiter call or email me with a borderline sales attitude is beyond countable, and it's this very attitude that lacks a personal touch and comes across as though they don't care. It's nerve-wracking enough trying to find a job, especially if you're desperate to find one! It can even be insulting when they talk to you about an "opportunity" in, say, a Sales role when your main expertise is within Accountancy positions...
