Recruiters Asking About Interviews

I send them on wild goose chases.

Me: "Yeah I interviewed for a big greenfield project at the BoE"
Recruiter: "Oh yes, what's the name of your contact there? is that with Dave Smith?"
Me: "No. It's with a guy called Michael Leatickchis or Lechtitjk or Keghklis, I can't remember his last name now, but it was something like that"
Recruiter: "And that's with IT?"
Me: "Not sure, I think they mentioned that they were creating a new group - not sure under which group, but anyway they're hiring about a dozen people over the next year or something like that"
Recruiter: "Anything else lined up?"
Me: "Yeah, the FCA .."

That gives them enough mud to spin their wheels in ..

I've thought about doing this but never have... I always go with the just started looking.

I hate recruiters' fishing attempts - I can't begin to tell you how much I hate it.

They have a different name for themselves, for a reason. Pimps!

As Dodgy Agent used to say: Better a pimp than a prossie.

I got this from a recruiter recently, which I thought was a little bit strange...

I wanted to put these two candidates in front of you as due to the circumstances we find ourselves in, they are looking for new roles. They have interviews lined up but you as a business are much more local for them so they would likely prefer this opportunity is one was to present itself…
