Yes. Most recruiters won't list the company name. Among other things, it prevents you from applying directly to the company which makes the recruiter lose out on pay. They don't get paid until they place someone in a job.ahh ok that makes sense i guess. I wanted to look into the company myself
ahh ok that makes sense i guess. I wanted to look into the company myselfAlso there are times the company will start the recruiter/hiring process when they are about to lay someone off. I'm the only person in my company with my job title so if I saw an open position listed with the same title, I'd know something was up.
Don't some states mandate salary range transparency on an open position? Or does going through a recruiter bypass that requirement?Only a couple.
Wow I sent my resume over and she cancelled our call like immediately. feels kinda bad i guess, I thought she'd at least want to talk to me even if i wasn't the right fit. My entire work history is on my linkedin so it wasn't anything new...There's a small island of good recruiters in a sea of shitty ones. I still get emails from the terrible ones saying to the effect of "I see you have 14 years in IT and currently build out cloud infrastructure while living on the East coast. How would you like to move to the west coast for a 6 month contractor lvl 1 helpdesk job at $13 an hour?"
Recruiters are vultures. They pressure you to operate on their schedule. They pretend that they're arming you and speed running you into an interview but all you're getting is extra stress and not much time to do your own due diligence.Yeah, my singular experience with one so far was not good I guess. She pestered me over text to fill out her online portal thing, and had me go through all this just to reject me without a chance a couple hours before our call

This was the first one i've responded to, because it was local, and for a pretty specific thing I'd had experience with before. Honestly thought I had a good shot but w/e i guess
This is why I ask for the job listing and salary range up front. I'm not wasting my time on any more of their nonsense.

A legit technical recruiter would have taken your call and at least dug into your experience with it a bit. For all they know you live and breathe OpenCV in your personal time as a hobby.

Thanks lol, this honestly helped me feel better about it appreciate the perspectiveNo problem. Honestly it's the blind leading the blind. I'm sure you know HR isn't technically sound either and often they are the ones writing up these requirements to toss over to the recruiters.
