Think agency recruiters are a waste of time? That myth is costing you your career

Ana Berlina, our Talent Acquisition Specialist at BeInCrypto, has seen both sides of the hiring table — as an Agency recruiter and now In-house. And she's here to bust a few myths that might be holding you back from your next opportunity.

Let’s clear the air:
🟣 Myth 1: “Agencies are just middlemen — they don’t offer anything good”
➡️ Not true. Agencies often work with cool companies and roles that never go public. Some businesses only hire through trusted partners — which means you could miss out on amazing roles if you ignore recruiters.

🟣 Myth 2: “The recruiter will take part of my salary”
➡️ Nope. Agencies are paid by the company, not from your paycheck. You don’t lose a single cent.

🟣 Myth 3: “Agency recruiters don’t know much about the job — no point in preparing for the call”
➡️ Good recruiters talk directly with hiring managers. They know the tech, the vibe, and what kind of candidate will thrive. So yes — show up and come prepared. First impressions count.

But what’s in it for you?

✅ 1 recruiter = access to multiple roles
They usually handle 5–10 jobs at once. If one doesn’t fit, another might. More options, less time wasted.
✅ Private job lists
Some openings are only shared with agencies. You won’t find them on job boards — but your recruiter might already have your name on the list.

And what about in-house recruiters like Ana herself?

In-house = deep insights & real-time access
They sit inside the company, know the team, the culture, and what’s really going on.
✅ Can influence the process
✅ Give you clarity on what the team needs
✅ Share more about the role and company vision

Bottom line? A recruiter isn’t just a gatekeeper. They can be your advocate — if you know how to work with them!
