"We can't talk money until you have been interviewed by everyone in the building but this is a really great opportunity and I know once you meet the team at Arby's you'll be smitten, I've worked with Phillip for the last 3 months and he walks on water."
- flir 3y agoOk, well thanks for your time. If you hear of anything else I'd be suitable for, please let me know.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoNo, I don't think so. I put my resume online recently, and I started getting some "opportunities" that were absolute garbage. Like, $19/hour for circuit board testing. Um, hello? You didn't bother to look at the resume very hard, did you? That 35 years of software engineering experience should tell you that I'm not looking for anything like that. So if you're throwing me a job that is completely unsuited, no, don't tell me if you hear of anything else. You're just throwing every job at every candidate, and hoping that something sticks for someone. In the process, you're wasting my time (and everyone else's). The odds are too high that your next "opportunity" is also going to be a waste of my time, so no, don't let me know.
- flir 3y agoI don't expect them to actually do it, it's just a way to end the conversation on a positive note. They're going to add you to the spam db whatever you say.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoI'd rather end with a polite "no, not interested in other opportunities", in the home that at least some of the time, they won't continue to spam me. And, in fact, I just went through this. I was job hunting, and I put my resume on Monster and Indeed. I started getting garbage offers by email - offers that looked like they detected that I was "technical" and a job was "technical", but not much closer than that. But most of those emails also had a (not very obvious!) "unsubscribe" button. Surprisingly, that actually worked. (I mean, there were a number of such places, so I had to do it several times...)
- flir 3y agoI can handle the email spam. Just a thought, but I have a presentation number on my CV that's only active when I'm jobhunting - otherwise it just rings out. Are you talking about phone spam? That would be several million times more irritating.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoNo, it was email spam. Fortunately, I haven't had recruiters phone spamming me. I have had cold calls, but when I say "not interested", they don't continue.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoYMMV, but I can count the number of overly persistent recruiters after saying "no" on one hand. I don't respond to everyone, but I'm also not hardballing when I do respond.
- willcipriano 3y agoI've found about 50% of the time they go into the hard sell if you respond at all so I don't unless I'm looking for a job.
- nunez 3y agoKindly, but immediately, disqualify if they do this.
