Trusting a recruiter is just as important as working with a great team and understanding long term client solutions. It is entirely unfortunate you did not experience this concept first hand; and seems as if when you took out your "middleman" you also took out the idea of working for yourself.
As you stated "I decided it's time to go back to full time," I have to wonder what was lacking in your network (security) for you to decide full time was better than working directly with companies yourself and reaping the benefits.
Being a freelancer does not mean I lack understanding a brand and client loyalty. In fact, I understand it more so because I am on the outside looking in. I am the mercenary that companies like yours look to in order to think "outside of the box" because their own seems to be missing a piece to the puzzle.
Enjoy the ongoing continuation of being a lemming in our market today.
- recruiter v. direct contact..hmm...guess a lil of both is what most freelancers do anyway...junetic
- i didn't say fulltime is better. i was given an great fulltime opportunity to work for a great account. fulltime job doesn't offer you more security, it just offers you a false sense of security.tkmeister
- you any security. it offers only false sense of security. plus, i still freelance and close to doubling my income.tkmeister
- regardless, you are missing my point entirely. good luck on giving 30-50% of your take to your recruiters.tkmeister
