Comment on: Blog Post 'Candidate Control? Are You Serious?': witness metaphor). Sometimes it’s the candidate trying to lead the recruiter to co-sign their wild ideas or approach on how to proceed in a job interview or negotiate a job offer for example. @Cora--I don't think many recruiters are trying to control candidate career choices. It's more like some recruiters may try, but most fail.

Candidates will often ask for our advice but do the opposite with regrets later.
