If you job description is to find someone to fill a position you should know what that position is. This is middle management "I don't need to know exactly what I'm managing" levels of cow manure.
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoWe engineers tend to apply a "raised baseline" to non-engineers. We seem to assume that everyone "just knows" the "basics" of tech; especially if we are in a tech environment. The vast number of employees at corporations over a certain size are non-tech, with specialties in Marketing, Sales, Finance, Administration, Support, Manufacturing, etc. I see that a lot of tech companies have recruiters that are quite close to their teams. I know that Facebook and Apple do this, as they have contacted me in the past. Those types of recruiters wouldn't make the same mistake, but they are not common in many corporations.
