Ask HN: Do You Ever Sign 'Exclusive Representation' Agreements with Recruiters?
I got the following today from a recruiter. Full agreement posted in comment as HN won't let me post it in text. The same job was sent by several different recruiters (all east indians). Race is important because I've only come across such situations with Indian recruiters trying to act as middle-men for Indian devs (like me).
Also noticed that 3 different guys gave me 3 different W2 rates and wouldn't budge.
I haven't seen anything like this before.
1) Is it normal to solicit such agreements? and
2) Have you even signed or declined to sign one? and
3) why did you or didn't you sign it?
[ I'm US Citizen and have no problem finding jobs, but the employer is very interesting and so I am considering it. ]
