There is nothing I like about recruiters after understanding that they are in the business of finding and selling people for their own profit or their company's profit.

I find them to be pushy, inconsiderate, unthoughtful, and lacking real, hard skills that are useful to society. I find it interesting to think that in colleges / universities there is not a career path to be a "professional recruiter" like there is for "doctors, lawyers, engineers". Most people do not go to college to be a "recruiter".

In fact, after many terrible experiences with them, it is my goal to develop software which can completely replace human recruiters and automate their jobs.

It must be a hard day at work to do the following:

Task: Find candidates for a list of positions Steps To Complete: #1) Search LinkedIn, Other professional databases, Google, and other sources #2) From #1, write a list of prospective candidates #3) Email or call prospective candidates to discuss the position and optionally set up an interview #4) Connect the prospective candidates with the client company.
