why would you do that? well, incompetence springs to mind. (i'm not talking about you specifically, but about why recruiters screw up sometimes.) lord knows i've talked to my fair share of incompetent recruiters. they often don't speak english very well and they seem intent on blowing through the highest number of candidates in the shortest possible time. if it starts to look like you might be a match, god help you, because the recruiter wants to ram you down the throat of the employer as soon as possible, before some other recruiter gets somebody in there. i always find that part particularly galling. if i'm going to switch jobs, it will be a major upheaval in my life. it may involve picking up and moving across the country. yet these low-rent recruiters expect me to hurry through the process as fast as possible, so they don't lose the commission.
