this is the part I actually hate most. I'm not gonna do the recruiter job, especially not for free.
they have to get over themselves and stop thinking they are giving out 'opportunities' like they are modern messiah
- bitwize 11y agoWhat's worse is how snotty some of them get when you tell them no.
- mgkimsal 11y agoGuess I've been lucky. I can't recall anyone ever being snotty or rude with me when I say 'no'. I usually just ask them to email me details. Usually they don't, but sometimes they do.
- bitwize 11y agoI've had recruiters cop a very passive-aggressive tone when I told them I didn't know anyone interested in their position. It was weird.
- mcv 11y agoIf I've got a friend I know is actively looking for work, and I think the recruiter is not a total shithead, then I will sometimes mention that friend. Of course the friends looking for work tend to be either just starting out, or have been at the same company for so long that they forgot how job hunting works. Anyone else gets something good pretty soon. As it happens, I know a beginning (but smart) PHP/javascript developer with a bit of C# experience in Amsterdam. Likes CSS.
