Got this just a bit ago:

"Hi stupidbird, this is Anna with jobrecruiter. I found your resume on ziprecruiter and I'd like to call you about a low-rent job that's so far below your skill level that it's not going to pay anywhere near what you're making. What's a good time to call?"

My reply:

"Hi Anna, I don't have a resume on ziprecruiter, if there's one there it's been placed without my permission. Can you send me a link?"

No reply of course, and I haven't used that email address in about two years due to it being in one of the many, many LinkedIn breaches. Why would you start out a contact with a direct lie? I realize it's a template but still. It makes you look really bad and lazy and I certainly don't want to speak with you.

Hello my friend. This is Rajendra , I have an opportunity for top notch placement in a career that is just right for you . Please to be calling me back important for interview to candidate for this exciting new opening position.

Fucking everybody uses dot heads and goat raping Pakis for their recruiting. It's absolutely horrible.

Everyone does it because it's so cheap and there are millions of indians that have barely passable English that will take abuse all day for a few bucks.

How cheap is it really tho , when most people don't even bother with the hassle of trying to decipher what the hell they're saying ?

[–] • 1 pt

It's cheap enough that they can hire a building full of Indians that do nothing but spam people all day. I assume if they get a response it makes their day.

They make money only if you take their job. There are no laws or consequences for them if they lie to you and screw you over beyond you leaving said job which only means they don't keep getting a cut of your hourly. The lower they get you to take the job for the more that they pocket an hour for your time. The company pays the job shop the same no matter what.

I know that, but they're lying to me about my profile. I've had plenty that lied about the jobs, but it seems more commonplace now to make up stuff about the candidate before you even talk to them.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

I did contracting for a long, long time and it seems to me that the main trait required to be a recruiter is compulsive lying. The type who simply lies about anything and everything if they thinks it gives them an advantage somehow. Really, it is just like a dog barking, a duck quacking, or a jew molesting babies. It's just what you can expect them to do.

[–] • 0 pt

It is. It's just tiresome at times. I'd give them a polite "No thank you" if they'd have contacted me in a more civilized manner.

A lot of times recruiters get paid either based on applicants, or they get commission from hires. They are basically sales people. The recruiters with the best jobs even get residuals, meaning they basically get like $1 an hour from every employee they recruit, which can end up being a lot of money. Their company will get $10-$15 an hour for what you work.They have all kinds of tricks

Of course. This one, however, started their crap off by making things up about me.

How else are (((they))) going to recruit white men to die in an army if they don't lie?

[–] • 2 pts

The lie only goes as far as the actual product. I've had plenty of things that looked great on paper that turned out to be a "Why the fook are you giving me this pile of shit?"

[–] • 1 pt

Because they are trying to "buy" top quality asset for the lowers price they can.

Had an online job interview with the "big company" today. According to the interview guy, everything went great and they will find a suitable position for my skills and give me an official job offer within the next few days. So far I only had face to face interviews and they would tell me on the spot if I got it or not, is this some new crap they do now?

This isn't even an interview, this is just the recruiter and yes, it's very common. Been that way for a long time.

I still get emails saying that "Here's a position, we also called and left a voicemail..."

Bitch, modern phones record all calls. You didn't call.

I guess I'll keep looking then. Hate these videocall interviews, can't really tell what you are getting yourself into if you can't see how their office is organized and how managers are carrying themselves.

I've been fortunate to not have any of those.

or when the recruiter/headhunter contacts you but begins with the incorrect name. I always respond with 'that's not me, so no thanks anyways' or when the sub or staffing uses an old JD and interviewing with the prime the real reqs come out and you're sitting there with your jaw open when you hear TDY is at least 25%/year and the pay is at or below what you're already making even though the recruiter has you believe otherwise.

I got hit up a few months ago out-of-the-blue; legitimate JD and company, but asking me if I was interested in breaking into IT with an entry level datacenter type service-desk role. I admit, it made me smile.

the biggest shite I get now from recruiters asking me if I am in the market and wanting to relo to here or there, and I'm like - read my fucking profile - I am willing for relo to X, Y, or, Z only, not where you're asking me about. Why would there be an option to put relo specs if you're not going to bother to read them.

drafting a JD and JTA isn't that fucking hard, man. it's half on the recruiter, the other half is on HR and the hiring manager.

My name is a common name for the time, but is spelled slightly different and has several almost sound-alikes. I get all kinds of names. I don't even do what you do, I just say "Well, you couldn't be bothered to spell my name right. Don't contact me again."

But yeah, all that stuff just makes for an annoying time when they're blowing up your email with junk jobs, low pay, and temporary positions in California. Recruiters don't read any of the information you give them, it's all keyword matches.

They do it because they’re the lowest common denominator retards or low iq brownies playing the volume game.

They are farming. Those jobs aren't real. Do not give them any of your information.

This particular job is real, it's a company that's always looking for panel techs.

I've dealt with this recruiter in the past, they're just idiots.

You know exactly why, so I’m assuming it is rant/rhetorical question?

…Because they work on commission and they have a shitty product to sell, and if they told you the truth about their product they’d be looking for a new job

I know, it was just a discussion point.

I love it when they make up stuff about what I am or where they found me, and present that to me.
