I have been seeing a lot hate towards recruiters these days and i can’t really understand why. really Why?
The more I think about it, recruiting is a hard job. I know it may sound simplistic(and I may be totally wrong here), It is a sales job but it is about selling the idea of candidate to a company and selling the idea of company to a candidate. It is about finding the perfect person for the perfect job at the perfect time.
Sure, Like any profession, There are bad apples but generalization and prejudice is not helpful. if you meet bad one, Just move on. And let’s face it, people in tech are not exactly the easiest people to recruit. So, there is that.
Also, I hear people saying they ignore recruiters all the time and I don’t like hearing that. We can always reply and say thank you. That’s just professional courtesy.
