>"It’s great because I almost get monthly emails from recruiters from companies such as, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and this time around, I’m the one dishing out the rejection." This seems to be standard practice. Recruit people who've ostensibly been vetted by someone else already and surely pay a premium versus "taking a chance" on the same guy 3 years earlier. I wonder if/how hiring processes could be improved to surface desirable people in the first place? On a semi-related note, I find it mildly annoying to see job postings looking for people with say 3 years of experience in technologies that are 3 years old.
