Recruitment Agent Idiots

Posted: July 21, 2010 by Hoox in Rant 'n Rave, Work

These people do my head in. I mean really! What qualifications do you need in order to be a good recruitment agent these days?

A typical application situation:

Hi Hoox,
We have reviewed your CV and think you could be a perfect candidate for position X. Please review the job description and skills and tell me if you feel you are suitable.

Job description:

Skill A
Skill B
Skill C
Experience ABC

My CV:

Skill X
Skill Y
Skill Z
Experience XYZ

It’s not even close! Not even in the same job discipline! How can an IT Manger be confused with a Deep Sea Pressure Pump Engineer? If agents quit wasting their time on bullshit, they would have more productive time to spare looking for a realistic position for me!

Assholes!
