As an engineer I feel bad for non top tier company recruiters in the current market. If an engineer does their job well, they will be able to accomplish something. Recruiters could be fantastic at selling and still lose candidates because the market is so hot right now. I really hope most of their compensation is not tied to commission because that would be ridiculously unfair.

    I mean… construction workers have a much tougher job than recruiters. What’s the point?

    • Recruiting is not truly a tech job like software engineer or designer. At least they don’t act like they fully embrace the technology. It’s like saying a cafeteria chef at Google is a tech worker, and kitchen workers job is actually one of the hardest ones.

    I will say even in top tier tech, recruiters have stepped up their game a LOT due to the job market. I’ve been treated way better in the past 6 months than any other time I’ve tried interviewing.

      Usually they still treat me like a part of the process but the offers I've gotten recently make up for it, lol

      Many offers are higher than the highest data point on levels.fyi for the company and level. It is absolutely insane how much companies are paying now
