Recruiter's Confession

As a recruitment newbie, I went and registered with a competitor. I didn’t have ID and my CV was out of date, but the recruiter told me about the positions he had available, and didn’t even object to me jotting down the company names. I dashed straight back to the office to call the hiring managers, and filled four of the seven positions. I felt a little guilty; but the bonus made me feel better!
