Recruiters are caught between a rock (potential employer) and a hard place (recruiting prospect).

They are also 'blind' in a sense, since most recruiters have very little idea what to look for in a candidate other from the usual signals (resume, buzzwords, git repo and other wonky metrics).

I can't image how difficult it must be for them, and would be helpful if they could educate the uninformed of the challenges and potential frustrations. If that was well understood by candidates, I think they would be much less hurt by an occasional 'ghost' ..
