I had one today that barely understood the job he was recruiting for. Received the typical job description, but this one had a very specific list of requiements:

What you need for this position: Required: BS Electrical Engineering 3+ years vehicle radio requency electronic circuits Handle EMF and EMC requirements Knowledge of Design APQP requirements (e.g. DFMEA, DVP&R)

And so on...

I don't have some of these, and I'm not interested in the position as a whole due to location, work type, and not really interested in going back into the RF world. So I simply say "I don't have any of these requirements you client wants."

Pajeet argued with me that the client really doesn't want those, they just want RF skills, PCB design for RF, and "Aerospace Industry." Would not deviate from that. I have to wonder, is his "client" going to even look at a resume that doesn't have the skills they "require?" How do these places stay in business? Is it just sheer volume? I know what their client does and who it is, they are most certainly going to want what's on that list and more because it's their bread and butter.

They want to submit a candidate as fast as possible, and someone will put all those requirements in their profile, then pass the interview stage and then learn on the job. That person will be a pajeet and no one will care, except you didn't want to submit your resume, and one more pajeet learns on the job. He'll do an acceptable job by committee or by using an external trainer to help him, but it'll get done at a minimum. Eventually he'll become competent enough to do a half decent job, but nothing great. Many such cases.
