I did too when I first saw it. British press (even the non-satirical ones) are savage!

HA! I get more spray and pray recruiters that don't actually read my profile. That irks me.

I feel like there's been less of that of late with the economy, but it's never fun

I believe it. Since Iโ€™ve no longer had AE as a title I've had a distinct respite from them.

It's shameful and I don't know how it's acceptable in that world.

Agreed, imagine if I had prospects I didn't respond to in weeks. Canned in a heartbeat

I have been ghosted for about a year now. "We are ready to implementtttt, yayyy send me the contract" and the moment the contract hit their inbox, they said "Oh you dead to me".

I have only ever worked with a recruiter once. Wasnโ€™t pleasurable. Since then, I have just had a running list of network connections in case I need to jump ship.

That's the best route, though there are some good ones out there. They're just hard to find

Lol this has happened to me so much recently, I was very supportive to most of them back in the hot market and even passed on leads. Today? Crickets ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I ended up reaching out to one of their bosses, who refered me back to the recruiter for a call. Used it as a chnace to explain how Iโ€™m decent at prospecting and โ€˜getting my foot in the doorโ€™ lol :-)

I hate recruiters sometimes. Talked to a guy yesterday "oh they're looking to hire in the next 30 days, so you've gotta be ready to jump". Ended up reaching out to the hiring manager directly and he set up a call but opened with "we're always looking for good people, but we're not actively recruiting at the moment". Somebody is lying, and I have a feeling it ain't the boss.
