Because is easy and you don't need to be a very good recruiter to use it (its's how for cameras people use megapixels and not the actual quality of the picture)

Because is easy and you don't need to be a very good recruiter to use it (its's how for cameras people use megapixels and not the actual quality of the picture). Because, as a recruiter, you just need to fill the job; you have no incentive to do justice to any particular person. Because recruting is just another job and you just printed the cv as the candidate entered the office and the first 3 questions will all have the answers in the cv, because you didn't read it. Because beeing a good recruiter is hard and rare so you mostly encounter bad recruiters that use easy to understand signals, like years of experience. Because with a little guidence anyone could do the job but the person with the guidence left the company.
