Here's my recent gripes: 1. Nonsense spam messages. No content about their company or anything that shows they know anything about me. "Your experience at $COMPANY" doesn't count either. 2. Not using the Calendly (https://calendly.com/ https://calendly.com/) link I send them for scheduling and instead trying to have a email chain of "What's your availability like?" "Does 8:30am work for you?" "What's the best # to reach you?" OMFG use the calendar schedule link I sent you at the beginning of our conversation! Also, my # is at the very top of my resume, so you just showed you didn't even glance at it. 3. Having blinders on when looking at a candidate. One thing I run into a lot is recruiters or interviewers trying to pigeon-hole me into some box like "backend Java developer" or "front-end react developer" or "swift iOS developer" I mean it when I say senior full-stack web and app software engineer. Don't try to reduce my experience and skills and scoff at me when I know what my time is worth and what salary I can expect, because I'm already making that much! You want a candidate that can do *everything* but at intern rates? Don't waste my time and don't ever, ever neg me for having standards that reflect my reality. 4. "Why do you want to work for this company?" Because you're hiring and money is a requisite for existence. Give up this whole "passion for the product or tech" nonsense. You sell a service that pipes data; anyone that pretends to be passionate about that is full of it.
