I get emails about “opportunities”. Never pay. Their perceived perks. Past 6 months i decided to respond
Li recruiters( from now on referred to and LIR):
1a. blah blah lead hook blah job skills and other requirements when can you meet?
1b. It is partially remote but requiring relocation. Or 80%travel.
Me: either
2a. Reply 1 week later bc im not in a symbiotic relationship with my personal email that is mainly spam. And no response
2b. Thank you for reaching out. I am currently seeking employment that accommodates (does not require re location/remote)- usually thank you for your consideration no elaboration just a response withing 5 min
2c. This sounds like a great opportunity id love to learn more. Please provide salary range (or equivalent) and any additional information pertinent.. no response.
Recruiters and talent folk piss me off. Talk to the fucking company. Or give me something. Im a client too. with my skill set and you know… breathing with skills. Im a commodity you dont know my life or cv. Too many of them are pavlovian conditioned to piss their pants if we ask questions. Gotta train them the other way.
Ps had better luck with non linkedin recruiter. But not convinced they understood job i was seeking. Either not correct role at all or still pandering to potential employer just…less.
Anyways. Advocate for yourself. And assume any recruiter is incompetent/will sell you short.
