Recruiters are by far the most rude selfish people I’ve interacted with professionally. I get a sense it’s usually, but not always, younger people that weren’t able to get a more prestigious job and tend to take it out on applicants which gives them a feeling of superiority they’ve been craving.

I understand the frustration with recruiters, but this is ridiculous. The vast majority of people are not vindictive enough to change professions to recruiting just so they can torture candidates. Don’t add to the toxicity of the internet with this nonsense...

"which gives them a feeling of superiority they’ve been craving." - this is projecting way too much.

Recruiters deal in volume and so their work is highly transactional, not personal.

If you don't get a 'yes' then it's a 'no'.

They are busy, don't hate the player, hate the game.
