Groupon tries to recruit DHH.
- sp332 15y agoI think jrmehle had the best response: Recruiter: How many years of Rails experience do you have? DHH: ALL OF THEM
- janaboruta 15y agoHaha I feel like recruiters do no research about the people they try to contact. Same thing keeps happening to @wycats.

- csamuel 15y agoAt my previous gig, I had recruiters from MY OWN COMPANY contact me with "opportunities". I moved on shortly after that.
- umjames 15y agoWere these recruiters that your company hired, or were they actual HR employees from your company? I would have gone just to see the looks on their faces.
- HeyLaughingBoy 15y agoShould have taken the job; might have gotten a raise!
- vijayr 15y agoand then refer your colleagues too, for referral bonus !!
- pavel_lishin 15y agoThat would have been an interesting two-week-notice to give.
- bemaniac 15y agoIn my experience, these recruiters just grep for words like "Ruby" and "Javascript" and blindly send out form letters. I will say though, when I was looking for a job, a recruiter helped me set up quite a few interviews in a short period, and I ended up being placed somewhere awesome.
- cori 15y agoI've had pretty poor luck with folks who do out-sourced recruiting, but I recently got headhunted by an in-house recruiter and ended up taking the job and loving it.
