What should you do when a start-up recruiter calls?

My number one advice is to always take the first call.

You get two important pieces of information from recruiters: first - an updated picture of what is available in the marketplace (jobs & pay).

You also learn about your public branding and if it is sending the right signals. If you want product jobs and only ops people are calling, you need to make some updates.
