This thread makes me sad. We're not all evil, money-hungry idiots who can't tell the difference between Java & JavaScript. Recruiter ads are an annoyance though

This thread makes me sad. We're not all evil, money-hungry idiots who can't tell the difference between Java & JavaScript. Recruiter ads are an annoyance though. Lack of company info, vague salaries, words like 'ninja' and 'rockstar' shudder
Sometimes a recruiter can provide you access to lots of work you won't find advertised anywhere on the net.
Stick your email address into our notification box on http://hackerjobs.co.uk http://hackerjobs.co.uk if you want to be informed of a new site that aims to circumvent Tech Recruiters and significantly improve the recruitment process. It's not affiliated to any recruitment company so don't worry. It's a side project myself and a fellow HN'er are working on.
- robinwarren 15y agoSigned up for hackerjobs.co.uk just before I posted this actually, although it'd be nice to have a bit more info on that page about what it will be. I was going to caveat things more in the description but wanted to avoid going off on a ramble. Didn't want to insult anyone, so sorry if I made you sad on a Friday. I know there are good guys out there and I've been lucky enough to deal with some of them. However there are sadly some recruiters giving the profession a bad name, but I think you know all about that.
- Peroni 15y agoGood point about providing more info on the page. We are having a meeting tomorrow and we will make a point of expanding on the ladning page. It was a rush job in order to have something to show off at a recent Hacker News meet-up where I was giving a talk. Don't worry you didn't insult me! Recruiters have earned their terrible reputation.
