A bleak and honest look into the current job market but also hilarious and relatable. Every recruiter I've been contacted by always seems confused about some aspect of whatever job they are trying to find interviewees for.

Some/most recruiters seem to be just handed a job spec and told to get on with it.

I asked a few of them recently about simple things like how many were on the team, out whether it's a remote position, and they simply didn't know.

This, to me at least, is a red flag of a dysfunctional company culture, probably siloed and entrenched departments not communicating.

I have had convos like this:

Do you know React? "Yes."

Do you know React hooks? Yes.

Do you know JavaScript? "Well, it is what you use for React."

Do you know JavaScript? Yes or no?

Lots of them just have a keyword list.

This explains why a lot of them feel like poorly generated AI. Thank you for the insight :)
