Generally everyone always says good things about the person in those recommendations. So my question is how often are those taken seriously? If you are a hiring manager, how do you look at those? If you're a recruiter, what do those mean for you? Does it scream desperation to you when you see people with recommendations? Just trying to get an idea of how seriously are they looked in reality.

No-one cares
