16. What Agency Recruiters Actually Do (And What We Don’t)

Still waiting on that recruiter to “find you a job”? You might be misunderstanding how recruitment really works.

A lot of people think recruiters are there to coach them, guide their job search, or send their CV around to companies. But that’s not how it works - and this confusion is holding you back.

Desire (D):

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What recruiters actually do (and who they work for)
  • Why your CV might be ignored — and it’s not personal
  • How to shift your approach so recruiters want to contact you

Press play before you send another cold message to a recruiter — this one could change how you job search.

P.S. If you’re figuring out your next step, I created a free Ikigai workbook to help you get clarity - just drop me a message or grab it from the link.

Davide Puleri

I am an Italian Recruiter living in the Netherlands. I work for a recruitment agency in Amsterdam and I am the host of Get Hired Today, where I share job tips combined with some mindset tools for expats like me.

I’m not just a Recruiter, outside of work, I’m a normal guy who loves music, singing, baking healthy treats, travelling, and staying active through fitness. These things keep me balanced, especially when life gets hectic.

This podcast is not about being perfect, but it’s about growing together, step by step, through real conversations and some nice practical advice.
