You dodged a bullet. If a recruiter is that dense, that doesn't speak well for the company they represent (they are helping to recruit others, too!) You can do better. Nothing in your response was wrong or out of line.
- grecy 9y agoI used to think like that too, but it's worth remembering that HR/Recruiters != company. It's entirely possible that once you get past the inane recruiter junk you find yourself on a superb team of talented people. Unfortunately, I have just come to accept silly HR/Recruiter practices as a negative reality of life in 2017.
- Grue3 9y ago>once you get past the inane recruiter junk you find yourself on a superb team of talented people But... these are exact same people the "inane recruiter junk" has selected. How good can they possibly be?
- grecy 9y agoJust because the people played the "inane recruiter junk" game doesn't mean they are good or bad. Maybe the manager of the team does an excellent job of sorting out the noise after people have passed the recruiter game. Maybe they have great face-to-face interviews with the team and the team decides. There are a hundred reasons why the recruiter junk is meaningless to the quality of the candidate, but it certainly lets you know everyone that gets through is willing to be adaptable, compromise, communicate clearly etc. etc.
