I am sick of recruiters seeking “highly motivated candidates”

Isn’t the employer supposed to provide the motivation in the form of a livable salary and full benefits? Particularly in my field (I’m a scientist), the number one requirement is motivation, and additional qualifications and experience are often disregarded. Nobody cares what you bring to the table, as long as you’re willing to build expertise by working unpaid overtime. That’s also why the jobs are always listed as entry level, even if one is supposed to have a PhD
