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.

Absolutely, that's why a lot of them will call 2-3 or more times. They have to call X times a day, and it doesn't matter who they call, just that they called. I had one break down once while speaking to me, he started complaining that he had to get 16 submissions for a position with L3-Harris near Cleveland that paid next to nothing for an RF tech. That was amusing because it was open for months. No one is going to move to a major city for $16 an hour.

But still, how does the company get paid if they don't place people?

It depends how they are getting paid, and if they got paid only per successful hire - you wouldn't be talking to a pajeet.

How is this type of business model sustainable?

Most likely that (((government regulations))) allow select few companies to maintain monopoly within the industry, so competition is not an issue for them.

And then there is a whole other side where (((big companies))) are advertising jobs they know won't be filled in order to justify understaffing and/or hiring pajeets since "lazy natives just don't want to work" and then the pajeet is shipped in, has all living expenses paid for by the tax payer since muh racism, so 16$ per hour is more than enough for him to make a decent living.

I don't know how it could be select companies, I almost never hear from the same place twice. It seems like there's an endless parade of PajeetCo out there.

Someone has to be paying these Indian companies to do this work. And the position I mentioned required a clearance, so no H1B there.

Must be outsourcing then, nothing else comes to mind.
