There’s a whole cohort of English recruiters who hire for the EU roles. They wouldn’t name a company or provide any relevant details unless you agree to have a call with them. And when you do, they’ll ask incredibly annoying questions that show how incredibly non-technical these people are. Moreover, they can’t provide you any relevant company details even if you call them, since their only goal is to push you to the next stage and forget about it. I have no idea why this industry is specifically in the UK, but “English recruiter” is something of a meme in the European tech.
- fsloth 5y agoYes, this. "I have a SECRET client" is the most annoying thing ever. Especially since the client (in my domain) is either immediately recognizable or just irrelevant.
- f6v 5y agoIt gets even better if they just remove the company name from the job ad. You can still Google the description and apply directly.
- petesergeant 5y agoEngland doesn't regulate who can work as a recruiter, and there's a very active and competitive recruitment industry there.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 5y agoAre there any countries which regulate it?
- petesergeant 5y agoThe majority of rich countries, in fact!
