Do you think there's a recruiting board somewhere where they complain about snarky coders?
- Peroni 15y agoI love the relevance of the username! I'm not aware of any particular recruitment forums, mainly because I avoid them like the plague however the general consensus is that a lot of coders, particularly the more experienced ones are arrogant and self-centred. Most recruiters don't realise that the attitude they face is primarily based on the fact that coders don't like dealing with recruiters.
- hr 15y agoThanks, I've been an executive recruiter for 15 years and only read HN because of the thought leaders who write here. I recruit and work with high level execs who actually understand and respect the value of a good recruiter. Your posts are interest generating because they showcase the low underbelly of the industry and not the well respected recruiter. Still thanks for writing.
- Peroni 15y agoI recruit and work with high level execs who actually understand and respect the value of a good recruiter. The difference between executive search & volume recruitment is chalk & cheese. The two are mutually exclusive. Your posts are interest generating because they showcase the low underbelly of the industry and not the well respected recruiter. As I stated categorically in all my posts, there are plenty of good recruiters out their however there are infinitely more bad recruiters that drown them out. I'm not claiming to be a lone ranger in a rogue industry, I know there are plenty of others out there just as fed up with the self-inflicted negative attitude towards the industry, the difference is I am making my opinion heard.
- hr 15y agoPerhaps you should provide equal time and write about good recruiters and the value they bring to candidates and companies alike. Maybe "All that's right with the recruitment industry" I fail to see how speaking negatively about an industry helps promote it's value.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoIt would only make sense to devote equal time to the good recruiters if they were 50% of the general population of recruiters.
- pavel_lishin 15y ago> thought leaders Bingo!
- hr 15y agoIf only the bad recruiters are calling you what do you think that says about you?
- pavel_lishin 15y agoWhat? I was referencing Buzzword Bingo.
- felipemnoa 15y agoThat is what I though.
- hr 15y agoMy apologies. I read HN b/c intelligent people write here.
