> Remember that I'm using them to offload some of the considerable effort required to find good candidates who are worth talking to. Right, because it's very hard trying to find a good candidate now. > The context of the GP post is getting back to a recruiter to find out more about a job, which suggests you're at least interested in that job. No, I am open to being persuaded. But without basic details like the name of the company, salary range, rough description of what the job is and location/WFH situation, I cannot say that I am interested or not. I am not going to take time off work and start an interview process -- which costs me vacation time and effort -- with a company that isn't willing to try to prove to me that they are better than my current employer. So if I have a question, then you should answer it if you want me to consider taking the leap to interview with you. You are trying to recruit me. Don't do that with a chip on your shoulder. What kind of salesman tries to make his leads jump through hoops? You are the salesmen here. On the other hand when I am unemployed and I reach out to you to convince me to hire you, I will give you all my contact info and I will be willing to jump through hoops to convince you to hire me, just as you should be willing to jump through hoops when you are trying to recruit someone to quit their current job and come work for you.
