Why talk down to people like so, almost treating the recruiters like they were little children who need to be lectured about how to behave. Recruiters are human beings too, who are just trying to do their job.
- amorphid 14y agoAs a recruiter I find the post refreshing. It has a bit of a negative streak in it, but I understand where that's coming from.
- kordless 14y agoThe word is pompous. Nobody deserves to have a bunch of 'you' assumptions thrown their way without ever speaking to them. That said, I've had a few recruiters irritate me before.
- ianstallings 14y agoWho's being disrespected when our time is wasted because a recruiter can't read a simple profile and has zero understanding of the technologies they are recruiting for? That's where the treatment comes from. Recruiters as a whole seem to be transient bunch that never intended to become a recruiter or care about what we do in the first place. Some of us have devoted our entire lives to this field. So when you come at us with "I Need something insanely stupid because I couldn't be bothered to READ", well you're wasting our time. Who likes to have their time wasted?
- mavrck 14y agoThis is no worse than the 10 word message I get offering me an opportunity that's "perfect" for me. If a large chunk of the recruiters weren't so lazy, there'd be no need for this.
- TylerE 14y agoTry posting a public resume on Monster sometime, and wait for the multiple e-mails about a perfect opportunity, and then if you follow up on them it's a 3 month contract in Lower Bumfark, Kansas.
- znmeb 14y agoNo, actually, it's almost always insurance sales or multi-level marketing.
