I never complain about recruiters. The fact that I'm being contacted spontaneously is completely a positive for me, and it gives me some confidence that if I were to look for a job again, my skills are in demand enough that I will never starve.
- ruhruh 13y agoOn recruiters, I think people get a pass there for bitching about it. It's all noise, no signal. It's just spam, and these poor recruiters are basically dialing for dollars (or [e]mailin' for money). However, if people are whining about actual signed/sealed/delivered job OFFERS, then they definitely should shut up & count their blessings
- waylandsmithers 13y agoI've always found it a little off-putting when people complain about this. I get that it's probably annoying, and good for them for being in demand. But it still comes off as a humblebrag.

- logfromblammo 13y agoIt's more akin to the "job offers" that a woman might get when walking down the wrong sort of street. The basal level of respect for me as a professional with skills and preferences distinct from those of my peers is typically not present from the recruiter shotgunning spam all over the network.
