Recruiters: please do this
- leeny 14y agoI'm a recruiter, and I agree completely that straight copy-paste jobs are very poor. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, there isn't necessarily enough information available about a person to make a truly personalized message -- I can't always look at their code/portfolio or have access to a good self-summary. I also refuse to spam. As such, I'm still trying to figure out a good strategy for finding quality candidates. Some people in my field think that this is just a numbers game, but I really hope it isn't because if it is, then spams like the one you describe are completely justifiable. I recently posted about this very problem to HN, and I would love your thoughts. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3771806 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3771806
