Considering applying for your own position
This might sound like an odd question, but if you were an agency recruiter and found a role that you felt genuinely qualified for and interested in, would it be acceptable for you to submit your own CV for consideration?

It’s not a stupid question at all! In fact, it’s a common dilemma for many agency recruiters. Generally, most agencies have policies against submitting your own CV for the roles you are recruiting for to avoid any conflicts of interest or potential bias in the hiring process. However, if you genuinely feel you’re a strong fit for the role, it’s best to discuss it with your manager or team. They can provide guidance on the best approach and whether there’s a formal process to follow. Transparency is key in these situations!
