When will #recruiters find out they just need to come to #archery ranges?

Every recruiter ever: Are you interested in this job? *sends me job description with an educational requirement I do not meet*

Me: Sorry, I don't have a CS (or related) degree.

Recruiter: Oh, that's not a hard requirement.

Me: Why is it listed under Requirements instead of Nice-To-Have?

Recruiter: ... When is a good time to talk?

Me: Oh, I'm also not interested in relocating, or your technology stack, or your business model, or your venture capital funding.

It is interesting to observe #recruiters responses as someone who has a #career that is half Game Development and half #Enterprise Software Engineering. When I apply for Enterprise jobs I'm told either "You don't have enough #experience." 🙄 or "You'll just go back to #Gamedev when something is available." (Fair point, it was my original career). When I apply for Gamedev jobs I get "You'll have more luck with Enterprise Java." or "You'll just leave the industry again."

The surefire way to shut down a recruiter is to tell them what *my* requirements are.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to name things…

I just got a recruiter email for some "defense" contractor that obviously didn't read the "no defense, no gambling" line in my LinkedIn profile.

Name of the company?

ManTech

🙄

"Sorry, sir, I am not a man."

LinkedIn inspires me every day.

Another day, another Turing Enterprises domain to block.

If you're already blocking unsolicited emails from turing dot com, turing dot to, turing dot bz and other Turing domains, you'll want to add turing dot jp to your filters.

Turing, incidentally, are the clowns who claim to be “disrupting the traditional recruiting model for companies”. Blindly spamming everyone's business or LinkedIn addresses is certainly “disruptive”, but perhaps not in the way they imagine it is.

#spam #recruiters

"The rate is between X-Y"
"oh also you will lose about 15 days of furloughed holidays"
"oh also you will need to work east coast hours"
...
"I got a calculator and did the math and I can go to (15% above Y)"

Rush for Hong Kong’s crypto licenses yet to translate to jobs: Recruiters - Hundreds of firms have been lining up for a Hong Kong crypto lice... - https://cointelegraph.com/news/hong-kong-crypto-jobs-boom-to-come-say-recruiters #recruiters #cryptojobs #cryptohub #web3jobs #hongkong #jobboom #hk

OH SHI~ a recruiter from a web3 company wants to talk to me. 🤣

I'd sort of like to work on something that makes the world better as my next gig, not snake oil for tech bros.

#Lol #recruiters - I’ve never actually worked with PHP, except to cleanup servers running shitty PHP scripts.

Some of y'all #recruiters out there are lowballing hard. I'm just saying. I don't put on pants for less than $60 these days. I got rent to pay. Look at the market. We sure are.

Made a stock image for you, my dear LinkedIn friends… #linkedin #recruiters #memes

Sleazy scam:

#lawfirms using #recruiters to find #employees; then fire employees when it comes time to pay #recruiter for #work.

That's called #fraud and is potentially a crime, theft by deception.

__This request is not for me.__

If you are in #LosAngeles and looking for an experienced and legally trained #paralegal (JD, Law Review, former litigator) with NO aspirations to practice #law after decades of #legal experience, please send me a message. I have a great employee for you. /1

Somehow I’ve accumulated over 1,200 “connections” on #LinkedIn over the years. I cannot believe that I’ve either sent or accepted that many requests—it seems fishy. Regardless, it’s time to cull anyone that I haven’t specifically worked with and any #recruiters that didn’t actually land me a job.

Hey #recruiters, if you’re a #consulting firm pitching me a 40 hours per week, 1 year implementation contract with a client, you’re not a consulting firm.

You’re a placement firm.

@UkiahSmith @scimon Almost everything I’ve ever done has started with learning on the job.* A #developer’s greatest skill is the ability to rapidly adapt and learn new skills. I wish bullet-point #recruiters understood that.

* I taught myself #BASIC in the 1980s, later had high school classes in BASIC and #Pascal, Pascal and #HyperCard in college in the 90s, and #Csharp when I went back to finish my degree about ten years ago.

Who has had virtual interviews where more than one interviewer is at home, dressed casually and you feel like your watching a TikTok/snapchat/Reel video?

I'm all for working from home 100%.

But you in your jammies on your phone, all over your apartment is too much for me.

What is people's issue with coding challenges when you're #interviewing?

*looks at common coding challenges*

Oh, the issue is that most companies have crappy challenges.

#Recruiters: programming challenges are not for you to test every aspect of a prospect's skills. If a take-home takes more than a couple hours, you're wasting everyone's time.

I did a take-home for my current employer. It took an hour and a half. It lead to a meaningful discussion of my skillset.

#Recruiters Try Asking #Tech Workers affected by #LayOffs to Return to the Same Companies as #Contractors https://www.seattletimes.com/business/laid-off-by-big-tech-then-recruited-for-contract-work-at-the-same-place/
