Recruitment twats

I think we need to rename recruitment consultants.

Henceforth, they need to be called ‘recruitment twats’.

I just had this email from one such recruitment twat:

Hi Brennig
(they get 25 bonus points for getting my name right)

I came across an old copy of your CV on our database and wanted to
find out what your current situation is. I have a number of Developer
roles on my desk right now that I think might be of interest salary
ranging from £25k for a junior, £40k for a mid level developer and
£60k for a senior/lead developer.

If you’re available and interested in new opportunities, please get
back to me with an updated copy of your CV along with your salary
expectations as soon as possible.

Kind regards

I responded to the recruitment twat thus:

Thank you for emailing me.

I am surprised that you say you came across an old copy of my CV because you go on to talk about an entire range of jobs that I’m plainly unskilled for and unsuited to.

I attach my CV for real consideration, rather than surreal consideration.

I can’t figure out if recruitment twats are becoming more incompetent or becoming more lazy.

Guesses?

One thought on “Recruitment twats

  1. More desperate, perhaps? They only get paid when they fill the vacancy, so they’ll try to fill it with anyone, never mind their skill set.
