 Fixing the recruiter industry
jordibunster: I used to have a canned email that I used to reply to recruiters.It basically explained (in better words) that I needed the name, website and physical address of the company, because I was very picky about culture and location, and it would save us both a ton of time.It also said I had no incentive to screw them and go directly to the company, if I was indeed interested.Worked 50% of the time. Some people wanted me to call them first before telling me the info (I wonder why), and others plain told me "that's not how this works, I've been burned before", but even when it did work, it seems like it caused said recruiter to not send any more leads my way.So I went back to playing their game. Which I hate as much as you do.
