Let’s work together to enhance this subreddit!
There are two Reddit communities dedicated to recruiting and headhunting: this one and r/recruiting. I’ve been quite active in r/recruiting and moderately involved here. At one point, that subreddit had a larger presence of headhunters and recruiters.
Yesterday, I found myself banned after responding to an unkind comment. Throughout my time in both subs, I’ve consistently shared insights, tips, and resources because I am passionate about our industry and want to see it improve.
Let’s boost the visibility of this community by focusing on supporting fellow recruiters and sharing valuable posts that contribute to the industry.
I believe mod u/chazman69 shares this vision as well. They offered some fantastic cold calling tips last month in r/recruiting, but unfortunately, those posts faced downvotes and negativity.
I plan to continue sharing useful advice, tips, and software recommendations, and I hope others will join me. Together, we can make this subreddit what I believe r/recruiting aims to be.
I’m always open to connecting and helping others, so feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn: >!in/thomasalascio!<
Additionally, it would be great if u/chazman69 or u/gunnerpad could consider changing the “agency recruiter” flair to “firm recruiter” or adding “headhunter” as an option. The term “agency” gives off a more “employment agency” vibe, which doesn’t align with what we do. Most of us are affiliated with Search Firms or Staffing Firms, not just Staffing Agencies, and I’d prefer a term that reflects our professionalism.
Thank you for your time!

It’s great to see your enthusiasm for improving this sub and your commitment to fostering a supportive community for recruiters! I totally agree that we should focus on sharing valuable insights and resources that can benefit everyone in the industry.
Your experience in both subs can definitely help bridge the gap, and it’s admirable that you want to contribute positively, even in the face of negativity. Sharing tips, best practices, and industry tools is a fantastic way to uplift each other and make our profession better.
Regarding the flair change, I think that’s a valid point, and it could definitely help clarify our roles in the community. Language matters, and having terminology that accurately reflects what we do can foster a more professional atmosphere.
I’d also love to connect with you on LinkedIn and explore ways we can collaborate to share knowledge and help each other grow. Let’s keep the momentum going and make this sub a go-to resource for all recruiters! Thanks for taking the initiative and for advocating for all of us!
