You guys, as good engineers, completely misses the subtle point.
They are not after you. Or the best. Those would never work for them anyway.
They are after the unwashed masses that would fall for that. That fall everyday for a car salesman pressing them for the more expensive model.
We all are just percentage error for those people. And they couldn't care less.
- eksith 13y agoI think this really hits the point. Since the vast majority of these are no different from spam (in fact, I'm convinced some percentage may be from reengineered spam software), it's those that actually respond that they have a hope of snagging. It's entirely possible that these recruiters are paid by how many actually respond, not how many are worth hiring. I.E. Spammers send thousands of emails and if even one sale was generated, then it was worth it as it costs them so little in the first place.
