The way I got my current job is that the company I applied for rejected my application and then hired a recruiter who brought me in with the same application.

The company essentially handed the recruiter $10k because they were too bad at reviewing their own applications.

How do hire a recruiter as a candidate?

	▲	legitster 5 hours ago \| parent [-]
		In this case the company hired the recruiter because "they couldn't find any candidates". Hiring your own recruiter can be kind of a scam - if you do it on your side they'll want ~10% of your first year's salary. But if you're interested in such a thing, all you have to do is so much as wag a finger on LinkedIn and they'll come swarming.
