Be nice to recruiters or they will hurt you
The nature of the beast
A seldom anticipated aspect of dealing with recruiters is they know things you don’t think they can possibly know. It is highly likely you are not the only person with whom the recruiter has spoken from any of your previous employers. It is safe to say any recruiter who serves a specific niche’ occupation is wired into the gossip and rumor mill of same. Warning: Don’t take credit for things you didn’t do. Take credit for the mistakes and poor decisions. Chances are the recruiter will find out via the informal network or already knows.
When you talk to a recruiter, you are talking to the business community at large. When your name comes up for searches or even polite conversation, comments will be made. It behooves you to manage your relationships with recruiters as though you plan to be part of that community in good standing for the duration of your career.
