    I've had 4 recruiters contact me for the same role. (I'm assuming it's the same role) which recruiter should I call back?! I don't know anything about any of them as I'm employed!

    I'm not being flippant, I'd go with the one you like the most tbh.

    I've a list of recruiters down over the years that I will no longer deal with, so I'd use that criteria.

    Or you could check out the different agencies online and decide which one to go for.

    Call the company and ask if they have an official recruiter or should you apply directly to them.

    check what rate you'd be paid with each of them, you'd be surprised at the difference.:rolleyes:

    Apply direct and instantly become more competitive than other candidates - the agencies will apply 15-50% markup on your rate/salary. Notice how the recruiters will be careful not to hint who the customer is....

    Since 4 agencies rang you it's a sure bet that the job is advertised on the usual jobsites (linkedin, monster, indeed etc). A quick google with the keywords they are looking for should be informative.

    Going with any of them might limit your chances.

    Most official recruiters have an exclusive deal with a company, it'd be unusual for a company to use more than one recruiter because it'd cause all kinds of trouble of the same candidate was introduced by more than one.
    if you go with one of them and they have a deal with another recruiter (either one of these or another altogether), they're likely to just bin your application.

    Just try to figure out who the company are and apply directly.
