@platypus wouldn't call it a struggle.
found a better job in two months than via recruiters in 6 years. -
There is a company whos recruiters are spamming with all their job openings for service desk employee. They called me once and I asked how they got my info, they claimed I gave it to them during a job event. I have never attended one of those nor would I ever have a chat with their company (because I hate their ads lol). When I asked them to delete my contact details and never contact me again, they said they'd take care of it.
To this day I am still receiving emails from them, one of them titled "Come date with us!", which in context apparently meant they setup all their recruiters to have short convos with people who participate.
Long story short... Fuck recruiters, please choke on lego -
@SandervDoorn Many recruiters are really good looking so I wouldn't mind fucking them...

@diobert
It can, i did. -
@platypus Welp, I did stop the process and applied for a job myself. And now Im very happy with my job and don't really talk to them.
That's something I guess.
Mostly I felt like. I'm not going to let anyone else decide where I'm going to work. I want to apply for a position that I actually want. -
@SandervDoorn hahahaha i wanted to ask her how much time she spends on Twitter

it's also funny when three recruiters from different companies call you about the same job, and of course they won't tell you the name of the company (because they know you'd go around them then), but you already know the requirements list and description they've been given by the company, so after the third bulletpoint you're like "i'm gonna stop you there, your competition was faster and i already have an interview set up through them", and you can hear the disappointment of their "oh... okay..."

@SandervDoorn “pls choke on lego”. Nice!

@starrynights89 the point of recruiters is to give bullshit jobs to pretty women who know and are interested in nothing else than flirting with people, so that IT is a bit less attacked with bullshit claims of misogyny
Me a while ago talking to a recruiter over the phone. This was for a C++ dev position.
(R)ecruiter : So except for the development things, we are looking for someone who has experience configuration linux. Do you have any experience with that?
(M)e : Sure, I use Linux all the time. What do you mean.
R : Well, Just using Linux isn't enough for this position, you need to have experience in configuration Linux.
M : Well. I can't answer your question if you don't specify what you mean. Do you mean that I need to be able to install my own packages? Set up my dev environment? Bash scripting? Being able to configure my bash profile to have good aliases? Use Linux to develop software? Because I can do all of these.
M : Or do you need someone who can write Kernel modules for the OS, because I don't have any experience in that but would like to learn.
R : Oh, I don't really know what it means. But the paper says that you need to have experience configuration Linux. So what would you say your experience with that is?
Me internally : JESUS CHRIST I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT I DON'T KNOW HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ASSESS ME CORRECTLY.
Me 😎 : I use Arch and you have to set it up completely from the ground by your self so I know everything there is to know.
Basically every question was like this with the recruiter. I got further in the process but quit because the workplace looked like it would drain my soul when I got interviewed by the employees of the company.
Jesus Christ though, some recruiters could be replaced by an automated phone system.
