Tech Recruiting is Broken

A user on twitter created a fake profile of a Sea Bream fish on LinkedIn to see if he'd still receive job offers. The answer was.... yes.

I think it’s been broken for awhile.   You graduated from college, that’s great you can become A recuiter!!!

Sure, there are some good recruiters, but there are several inexperienced recuiters as well. A lot of the recuiters don’t know anything about the position they are recuiting for.  Also, they don’t care if you get less pay, al they care about is their commission. 

I think the recuiters need to take time to know the candidate, company, and position, so they can place them in the right role.  This never really happens though, the recuiter needs someone right now.


I guess my pet peeves are
1)
come to our office for an interview.
oh you know what I don’t have s job for you right now.

Me Why did waste my gas money?

2)
Do you have a job description for this role?

recuiter No.  But I can submit you

interviee comes around.. still no job description 
3)

Recuiter doesn’t know anything about the company they’re recuiting for.

4). You get submitted for a job and the recuiter calls you back saying you aren’t moving, because the company wanted xyz recuitement that you don’t have
