Application Policy: I am applying to matching roles and I do not apply with competing recruiters for the same role. All recruiting must go through my LinkedIn so I can enforce first-mover, first-insight advantage—my way of rewarding recruiters who recognize my value before others approach. The world isn’t perfectly fair, but we can carve out small slices of fairness—and this is mine.
