Is it sour grapes to complain that on multiple occasions that Google recruiters have contacted me unsolicited? That they've told me that "A Googler recommended you for an open position?" That they couldn't identify the person or the position or the reason for the recommendation? That they knew nothing about me or what I know or have done and can do? That they promised to ask the recommender for more details and talk to me again? That they've disappeared for several weeks and then said "Let's just go through the normal interview process and figure out where to put you?"
At least the much maligned headhunters (sorry, "IT Recruiters") are more honest about their intentions.
This has happened multiple times, every one unsolicited. I'm sure it'll happen again in 12 to 18 months.
