Pros
Finding those 'hard to find' candidates, and filling that difficult job is a massive buzz
You get to ask all the questions, being an interviewer gives you a sense of responsibility
You are the reason someone is presented with a life-changing opportunity
You have the chance to be ethical
Cons
A good chunk of the job is wrangling people
A lot of this job is like being stuck between two different, mildly adversarial high school cliques and making sure that, at the end of the day, they both still like you
You spend all your time attending meetings and writing emails
Desperate people lie to you, companies ignore you, and even if you’re ethical and upstanding, most people initially distrust you because you’re a recruiter
