A minority are good but I’ve dealth with hundreds at this point - most are terrible. Many are fake, lie a lot, make unprofessional remarks at times, and just waste a lot of people’s time. If not recruiters then who? TC 320k YOE 8
Why?
I have found them to be fake, lie, and waste a lot of people’s time. Nobody that I know that is not in HR likes them.
No,
Me.
Are you still with HP? TC looks great!
It’s solid TC I am grateful. And no I left HP a couple months back. I love the anonymity.
Congrats on the move!
You know the answer to that, don't you
Absolutely.
I have friends that they screwed with pretty badly.
Thousands of recruiters? Maybe you're butthurtt about something
I said maybe thousands but most likely in the hundreds. And no I’m not butt hurt but my team and I were just talking about the subject earlier, the general consensus was what was relayed in the post.
That would be HR
Recruiters and HR are cut from the same cloth
Generally speaking, they are definitely the worst.
Haha I just spoke with a Nutanix recruiter today. She was super nice and transparent.
As OP said, not all - but definitely a majority. When I was running my startup I made sure that the last position that I would ever have to hire was a recruiter, and my whole team shared mutual feelings. Fortunately it never had to happen. I do know that many people in tech feel the same way about them.
