New spin on the Manager / Dev format!

Recuiter: WE NEED AN ABSOLUTE NODE EXPERT, NODE NODE NODE, WE LOVE NODE! WHAT IS YOUR NODE EXPERIENCE?!?!

Dev: Well I've had exposure to it since it was nearly new, all the way back in 2012, and since my professional career started about 7 years ago I've used it fairly often on a per-project basis.

Recruiter: WELL HAVE YOU BEEN USING IT DAILY FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS!?!

Dev: Well no, as I said I've used it for specific projects... anyway, there are these things called weekends...

Recruiter: WELL WE ONLY WANT NODE ZOMBIES SO SORRY.

Dev: Thanks for reaching out and wasting my time.

Recruiter: ...

Dev: ...

God recruiters are like robots, don't they understand senior-level engineers are language agnostic?

    this is actually so true and sad.

    however i only encounter this type of thing only once fortunately. past and current job recruiters actually have their CTO/senior-level engineers/somebody that actually know the field present on recruitment day/interview.

    phew!

    I looked into the actual company itself and it looks really interesting and a good place to work. I may just get in contact with the managers directly.

    You have been approached by a zombie node. Nota professional recruiter.
