That’s just the recruiters trying not to get fired. As a fellow mediocre dev who also gets contacted by Amazon recruiters I won’t believe they are interested in changing their ways until they either let up on the mandatory firings or they lower their standards. At the moment they are acting like the corporate equivalent of when you keep opening your fridge even though you decided you don’t want to eat anything in there

The recruiters still won't be getting those conversions so yeah they can get more desperate but in reality its an extension of the company getting more desperate. Thats why I think they will exhaust every possible lead and only then raise wages to attract people who will tolerate their conditions.
