As someone who has spent 12 years in corporate HR and recruitment and seen all the unethical practices and total lack of professionalism within this industry, this blog has provided me with much amusement. I particularly like the references to pimps and recruiters being worse than VC’s. Unfortunately, for all the ethical and fantastic recruiters out there, they are indeed the minority.

Maverick commented that someone should come up with a Web 2.0 application to bring about a more ethical hiring process. Well we’re working on it in Australia; we recently launched http://www.sixfigures.com.au, where the jobs are real and most are direct from employers; how novel!

Never understood the concept of recruiters. Basically you pay them a SHITTON of money to find someone THEY think would be good for the job YOU wand filled?

Hey, sounds nuts to me!

All recruiters are mentally impaired. They only exist because the internal HR people that hire them are even worse….

I’ve been a recruiter for over ten years now and, unfortuantely, Maverick has an excellent point. A lot of us deserve to be “taken to the HOOP” as you say. I hope we don’t get “algorithmed out” of existence but we may indeed meet that fate at some piont. Don’t give up on all of us! there are a few great ones out there. can’t afford to have readers of TC hating all of us which is why I’m also chiming in for the first time here.

Michael…been a life long fan and have never posted..until now. I couldn’t resist the situation about recruiters. Personally, they are worse than VC’s, and that’s bad…very bad.

These bottom-feeders don’t understand that people are human and not a piece of meat to be led to the slaughter. I think that someone should come up with a Web 2.0 application in directly competing with recruiters so their entire lively-hood is threatened to no end. Not only are most highly unethical, but, they have also proven intelligence is not a requirement.

Michael, as we use to say on the playground long, long ago: TAKE THEM TO THE HOOP!

Another home goal for recruiters that simply serves to reinforce the common perception of them. Oh dear..

@40 Of course Starbucks is closing stores now. What do you expect after they can there brand without explaination. This has to go down as one of the most self-destructive brands in history.

thanks for your post. i feel it’s long overdue. Is it just me that feels like recruiters feel that somehow us helping them do their job and make it easier for them is somehow an honor? I get calls frequently enough and that’s the sense i get. Help me find so-and-so blah, blah, blah. I don’t have time nor the inclination to help a recruiter disrupt a company’s business so they can get a referral fee. Further, it’s one thing if I even knew the recruiter, quite another when 99% of the time, i don’t know them from Adam. Why is it they seem to feel like it’s part of our job to help them make their job more successful? Whatever. I just cut these calls really short and say kindly no i can’t help you do your job.

mike,

how about posting the names of execs rumored to be leaving a company, a few companies that you (or staff) think that they’d be a great fit for (ie: were they can do the most good) and letting us all vote on it?
