Count me among those who has more sympathy than anything else for recruiters. Finding a job is hard. There’s so much uncertainty and fraught communication and rejection for reasons out of your control. What if finding jobs was your job? (That being said, the recruiters I’ve dealt with have been very professional and helpful, so I don’t mean to imply they are to be pitied, just that the realities of it are just as unpleasant as the realities of being a job seeker)

I'm generally sympathetic to them because they have a very difficult - yet very important! - role.

The only time I've ever been really angry at a recruiter was when I came across a snarky LinkedIn post written by a recruiter (and upvoted by many others) that went something along the lines of "Joe contacted me because he had found himself out of work. However, I checked our internal database and found that we had reached out to him many times and he had never once responded to our inquiries. It was with great satisfaction that I told Joe, 'I'm sorry but we have nothing for you at this time...'"

I try not to put negative thoughts out there but I wish... very very bad misfortune on this particular recruiter.
