Recruiter-Rater

I received this in my email a while back:


please contact me for possible interview / opportunity...
harrymccreedy@inservco.com


That's it. Nothing else.


Does this person believe that he/she is going to get a lot of responses? The company appears to be real, but this looks too much like spam. It was rescued from my bulk folder for that reason.

This company gave me the appearance of guys doing nothing but wanting to make a quick buck on your back. They lie to get you interested, and then play dumb and get mad when you call them on their lies. Probably the worst experience I've ever had with a recruiting firm. Don't bother going to the website, it's been under construction for years and has no actual jobs posted.

Myself, in Pittsburgh, and a friend, in Houston, have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries about contract/contract-to-hire/permanent jobs in the Technical Writing field lately from recruiters around the country that seem to be ACTUALLY based in India.

Gotta love Linda and her crew. I've called once or twice. They won't tell you about any openings they have. You *HAVE* to come in person for a prescreen meeting. Can't do it over the phone or email. Too bad the hours are better than banker's hours. I never found it worth the time to drive 20+ miles into downtown to see them. Did I mention I'd have to pay to park?

Another spamtastic idiot. No qualifications for this job, and a line in my profile that actually says that I have NO interest in financial positions of any sort. It seems they can't read. I love the confidentiality notice. This email was blasted out via monster's anonymous system. Morons.

Ok. I'm not qualified for this position. There really isn't any way that they could have mistook me for a qualified individual, unless they did a keyword search. And what's with my profile being on file? This is the first time I've heard of these jokers. Since this came through the Monster.com email system, it's funny to read the part about removing myself from the mailing list. Sure guys, let me give you a GOOD address.

I really rate contacts like these no better than spam. This is the first impression. Why should I answer this email? I really can't find a reason to. No information about what, where, or how much. In my area? I've had some recruiters call me with jobs 2 hours away that were "in my area." My experience? What part? I have performed a lot of jobs over the years. C'mon Scott! I know you can't tell the company, but at least give me something that would make me WANT to call you.

I'll give Scott credit. At least he sent an email, instead of a "PLZ CONTACT ME" email with only a phone number and address in the body.

I guess I'm supposed to be impressed that they "works hand in hand with Monster.com."


I guess I'm not.


Good Morning.
