Job title and agencies not understanding

[Pondlife]

Eh,

They want a software technician with experience of Revit which is the software used by Architectural firms.

How is that a massive fail? They are looking for an IT bod.



Edit: Ah, I see it was an email and not a job board posting. Nothing to see here. Move along now.

You would have thought having it as the name of their business they would be able to do what it says

Breaking news!!! Agent messes up using keyword spam..... We are dooooooomed I tell ya.

I know what they did. I just cannot see how they can make a viable business doing that.
Mind you I never understood how spammers made money but they must have somehow.

Out of the 3,000 people they email, 2990 will delete it after the first sentence, rate or location, 8 will try and blag that they can do it, 1 will be a good fit and someone else will complain about it on social media.

HTHBIDI

Power of numbers and automated emails don't cost anything, send out 10000 emails and there must be at least a handful of candidates that actually fit the job spec

They did a search on the job boards containing just the word architect and mass mail the jobspec to everybody who has that word somewhere in their cv

I got this today from Bin Tahir at Matchemeajob.com


Role: Architectural Revit Technician - Chester - Contract
Location: Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom
Rate: 20.00 - 25.00 GBP

My first thought was "That's the lowest rate I've ever seen for anything with the word architect in the role" (I'm assuming that's hourly).
But it's a building architect thing.
How crap does an agency have to be to confuse computer systems with sodding tower blocks????
I thought they were just very bad at understanding the technical details.
