Why specialized agents matter
IT, consulting, construction, and accounting each have different hiring signals. Specialists often match better and help with screening and pay talks. General agents win on volume when your direction is still broad.
Recommended combination patterns
1) One or two specialists for your field
2) One counseling-oriented general agent
3) Optionally a high-class / private-job service
Sign-ups are typically free—politely pause if fit is poor.
What to ask in free consults
Ask about recent placements, similar success stories, private-job share, interview/resume support, and communication cadence. Notes make comparison objective.
