🌟 About This Video 🌟
A growing number of white-collar job seekers are using “reverse recruiting,” where candidates pay recruiters to market them to employers, as AI filtering shapes hiring outcomes. The shift matters because initial AI screening can remove most applications before any human review.

In reverse recruiting, candidates pay for targeted applications and guidance through the job application process and AI screening systems. Fees range from $2,000 to more than $10,000 per month, with some contracts taking 10 to 20 percent of first-year salary.

BGG Enterprises’ Stephanie Alston explains the model, while Metaintro’s Lacey Kaelani cites a 75 percent initial elimination rate. Legal and ethical cautions come from attorney Eric Kingsley and recruiter Alex Odwell; iCIMS’ Trent Cotton compares the approach to a Hollywood agent. #reverserecruiting #jobsearch #careerhelp #recruitingtrends #airecruitment
