But it's not a buyers market, right now. That would imply that there's a ton more technical talent than there are jobs. It's the reverse. It's a sellers market

But it's not a buyers market, right now. That would imply that there's a ton more technical talent than there are jobs. It's the reverse. It's a sellers market, whether your a candidate, represented by an agency, or whatever....(at least here in U.S., maybe the U.K. is different?)
- PeterisP 13y agoThere's a lack of technical talent, but there's an overabundance of eager middlemen/recruiters - and even if you desperately want talent, you really don't need (or want) all the world's recruiters shoveling shit towards your HR, it won't help you in getting more (or better) talent. Recruiters aren't 'exclusive agents' like for, maybe, star athletes. Blacklisting a specific aggressive recruiter doesn't mean that you're blacklisting a part of your target employees - actually the good employees also want to avoid the same scummy recruiters, so it even helps.

- sklivvz1971 13y agoI agree that it's the reverse if you look at candidates as the "seller". If you look at the recruiters as "sellers", then there are way too many useless recruiters out there. I think they look at the second.
