Recruiters are desperate and have no shame

7 pointsby ailonover 12 years ago
OMG, these people have no shame at all... Got a call from some unknown number:<p>Lady: Is this AdDuplex? Me: Yes L: Can you give me Paulius' (my employee) phone number? Me: What is this about? L: Well, he helped me with my university assignment some time ago and blah blah... Me: OK, I'll pass him the phone right now<p>Turned out this was a recruiter and she tried to offer my employee a job and, apparently, I was their connector. O_o<p>Seriously, WTF!?

I used to work for a large investment bank and we would get random calls from people claiming to be from HR. They will ask for specific information that is obviously confidential.<p>If someone claims to known someone but asks you for their contact info, you should be suspicious. My response to these ppl: why dont u look him/her up on fb/linkedin.

Hah..A certain recruiter send everyone in my team a fedex envelope with a recruitment letter hand signed (sent to the company mailing address). I got the darn thing twice (followed by usual Linkedin spam by the same recruiter).

Now you know, always ask for name and confirm with the target person before passing the phone.

Short term people shine in a field with low accountability, use and recommend only the honest recruiters.
