On a procedural note, in case this may help you: the majority of
non-executive recruiters will NOT read anything beyond the text of your
resume or look at your portfolio site, samples, etc. They have a singular
mission, which is to satisfy in minimal terms the job reqs outlined by the
hiring authority at the company. On a large company that's usually the HR or
the entity that designates vendors/consultants as
recommended/authorized/etc. Rarely, recruiters are directly wired into
actual production line managers, as they are not the recruiters' direct
clients.
