me? I think I prefer recruiters to HR peeps - recruiters do serve some kind of function, as much as i like to slag agents have worked with some good ones and have relatives and friends who are recruiters - so taken on the whole they aint that bad (IT contract recruiters are on the whole bad though)
HR peeps on the other hand are just useless and IMO full of their own importance - when I was a perm the HR at the place I worked with were so bad that no one could understand why they walked about like they owned the place- it was a predominantly female team who refused to show any respect to the accountants and project staff on the same floor and would regularly create a cacophonous racket of cackling, shouting across the office, stupidly loud ring tones and daily whiteboard meetings - had they been a super efficient productive team it would have been more acceptable but no one really knew what they didsufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)
