From agency to agency, I\u2019ve noticed the same 6 types of recruiters show up again and again, and even though every recruiter thinks they&#8217;re unique, most of us are some mix of a few archetypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truth: People don&#8217;t usually choose recruitment as a profession, but rather somehow end up in recruitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the reason why recruitment attracts very different personalities, and that&#8217;s part of what makes it work.
