What pisses me off is when companies get my contact information off Monster and then try to recruit me for a job in another city or a contract position.
My profile on Monster, and on other sites, explicitly states that I am not interested in relocation and I will only accept full-time employment.
And I know for a fact that these recruiters are getting my information from Monster because I get a flood of calls and emails every time I update my profile there (which I haven't done in a while because I just started a new job and thus I'm not looking anymore, so fortunately the calls have died down lately).
Most of these are Indian recruiters hawking positions at no-name companies, but I've received a disproportionately large amount of emails from Amazon. Every few months, I'll get another email saying they're checking in on me and that they've got positions open for me.
- fecak 10y agoYour first mistake is having a profile on Monster. Recruiters that use Monster are probably the bottom-feeders most in the industry hate, and the reason they are on Monster is that is where you can generally find the bottom of the talent pool. I don't think I've known any decent industry pro (I recruit engineers for startups) in 10 years that has posted their info to Monster.
