Hello from Sequoia Capital! Hi, I'm a senior human acquisition engineer with [some dumb startup] who just raised an A round with Sequoia (yet to announce, please keep confidential). Talking E2E for a second, would you like to hear about the great work we're doing? (1 day later) Hey, bumping this up.

"human acquisition engineer" Yeah, I'd say that's pretty accurate

  The equivalent for this for finance is recruiters having their job title as "Head of Quant and Research" (or similar) on linkedin.

I feel betrayed, blond 20-something recruiter girl from LinkedIn. I thought you only reached out to me about this one!

  I recently had some very attractive girl from Amazon's recruiting team message me about a position. So I clicked on her page and the "other people viewed" section of her page was entirely composed of outlier attractive women in their mid 20s. And if you click on those profiles it's exactly the same thing with different girls. Apparently they are running a modeling agency/ recruiting team. Pretty sad that this works an definitely turned me off from responding to the offer. I'd personally be more excited if a recruiter finally got Java VS Javascript correct.

    As long as I get a job I like with a compensation I want, I couldn’t care less what mind games the recruiters want to pay

"senior human acquisition engineer" - what a gross and inflated thing to call someone who sends out emails and shuffles people into recruiting pipelines.
