God it really pisses me off when they find great people for my team. Even worse is when a recruiter finds me a well paid job that I like. I hate those jerks.

God it really pisses me off when they find great people for my team. Even worse is when a recruiter finds me a well paid job that I like. I hate those jerks. Wasting everyone's time with wanting to "talk on the phone", trying to clarify details about my "skills" and "experience" or "salary expectation", ugh such pointless questions - can't they just send emails, which I can slam the "delete" key on?

Your sarcasm gets your point across but what I think you're maybe not seeing is that for a lot of people, dealing with recruiters is a complete negative. There are a lot—a lot—of shitty, slimy, unprofessional and rude recruiters out there. The number of actually-good recruiters is dwarfed by the teeming masses of bad recruiters. The vast majority of recruiters reading this probably think they're in the good minority but they're just Dunning-Krugerrands and they're actually shitty too. For real, most recruiters are awful and dealing with them has zero upside.

  I'd be astonished if more than a vanishingly small percentage of the shitty recruiters are reading this. If you're a recruiter reading this you're probably one of the good guys just by virtue of making any effort beyond keyword scraping!

I mean, if I ran a team and I paid recruiters to find people to hire, I think I'd be disappointed if they ended up antagonizing the candidates in the process.

Those would be great. It's all the mishaps along the way from people who are one notch above spammers that cause the problem. Skills and experience? Those are on the CV. Salary? That should flow in the other direction, from the hirer.

Dishonest takes are always properly masked in smug tone such as this. It's like saying "ugh, it really pisses me off when police tries to do their job and protect me." in a conversation about police brutality and overreach.

  I hear what you're saying, but at least with recruiters, their interests are basically in line with your interests. They want you to get a high paying job (more commission for them) and you want to get a new high(er) paying job. Yeah, its aggravating sometimes but in the long run, I'd rather be approached for jobs by noobs than be ignored.
