Recruiters are useless!
Recruiters are useless! If I ever have a company, I will definitely make it recruiter-free. I just got to this conclusion after a recruiter shockingly told me that my experience in the last 7 years has been in software engineering, not development - just because the titles of my positions during this period say "integration engineer" that detail my experience as the full-stack developer that she is looking for. She added that my development experience was from before 7 years ago - just because the official title of my position then says "developer". She said all this egregiously wrong inference on my expertise and experience with an incredible confidence, no interest at all in listening to me, and a shocking ignorance about her palpable ignorance! It was quite a helpful experience for me in so many ways! Wow!
This is just the worst of the many bad experiences that I had been struggling to make sense of and ultimately led me to this conclusion!
To begin with, daring to recruit an expert without having a clue - let alone sufficient - understanding about the required expertise in itself is absurd! Choosing a career as a recruiter hence is ludicrous!
