It's not necessarily easy employment prospects though. Recruiters are playing a numbers game, too. For a given job opening, it's in their best financial interest to pitch as many potential candidates as possible, in case one sticks. There is no real cost to them to solicit a multitude of résumés, and no immediate benefit whether the position is a good fit on either side, as long as a hire occurs through them.
- mcfunley 12y agoThe point is really that this experience isn't shared by other people in other industries. I'd feel silly explaining how many unsolicited recruiting emails I get to the folks I know in entertainment, fashion, marketing, or whatever. They have to hustle just to get interviews. They get laid off. They're unemployed for long stretches. They have to suffer through horrifying unpaid internships. Sure, you're being spammed at the top end of the recruiter's funnel here. But the funnel doesn't even exist for a lot of non-tech job descriptions.
