Ask HN: What would you ask a recruiter?
I'm starting a video blog where I'll be interviewing companies about their hiring process, what they look for in coders, and just some general information about them.
So what would you ask a recruiter at one of these companies? What do you wish you could know that would get you hired?
(Recruiter here means the point person on recruiter. May be a professional recruiter, may be a founder.)
Let me know in the comments. Cheers!
P.S. If you're a company and you want featured, ping me at josh@coder.ly. I'm also going to feature some developers/designers in the future, so also ping me if you'd be interested in an interview about your perspective.

- Tangaroa 15y agoWhy is it so hard to find entry-level work? Why are there far more openings for senior developers and project managers than for second-tier coders, and very few openings anywhere for a first-tier coder with no experience?
- phaus 15y agoThere's lots of entry-level jobs, they just require a bachelor's degree + 5-8 years of experience and pay 50-60k a year. On a serious note, I read somewhere that the shortage of entry level jobs is due to the expansion of unpaid/poorly paid internships.
