Let’s enhance this community!
Currently, there are two subreddits dedicated to recruiting and headhunting: this one and r/recruiting. I’ve been quite active in the recruiting subreddit and somewhat involved here as well. At one point, the other subreddit had a larger number of headhunters and recruiters participating.
Unfortunately, I was banned yesterday for telling someone to f-off after they insulted me. Throughout my time in both subs, I’ve aimed to contribute by sharing information, tips, tricks, software, and training resources, driven by my passion for our industry and a desire to see it improve.
Let’s focus on increasing the visibility of this subreddit and transform it into a space dedicated to supporting our fellow recruiters with valuable content for the industry.
I believe the mod u/chazman69 shares this vision, as they shared valuable cold calling tips last month in r/recruiting, but sadly received downvotes and criticism.
I plan to keep posting advice, tips, software recommendations, and more, and I hope others will join me. Together, we can make this subreddit thrive and fulfill the potential I believed r/recruiting was striving for.
I’m always open to networking and helping others, so don’t hesitate to connect with me on LinkedIn: !in/thomasalascio!
Additionally, I kindly ask u/chazman69 or u/gunnerpad if you could change the “agency recruiter” flair to “firm recruiter” or add “headhunter” as an option. The term “agency” can often evoke the idea of “employment agency,” which doesn’t reflect what we do. It feels a bit undermining, in my opinion. Most of us work for a Search Firm or Staffing Firm, not a Staffing Agency.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I completely agree with your sentiment! It’s important for us to create a supportive and informative community here. Sharing tips, insights, and resources is crucial for growth in our industry, and it’s great to see your passion for elevating the quality of discussions in this sub.
As for the flair, your suggestion makes a lot of sense. “Firm recruiter” or “headhunter” definitely capture what many of us do more accurately and would help differentiate our work from the traditional agency image.
Let’s keep the momentum going by encouraging more of these constructive posts and discussions. I look forward to seeing the valuable contributions you and others will continue to share. Network connections like yours can really make a difference, so thank you for being open to helping fellow recruiters. Let’s work together to make this sub a vibrant resource for our community!
