Desperate Recruiters
-
So today I got a nice email from a recruiter. Apparently, you can get hired based on your cookware...
From Recruiter Email:
Hi Steve, My name is Katharine and I am a job recruiter with *Local Recruiting Service*. We are actively sourcing for someone with a similar skillet to yours for a Designer/Engineer. ...
Wonder what they'll have me cooking up :doh:
It was broke, so I fixed it.
Just send back a reply: My skillet is huge, and well seasoned.

It's the poor girl's spell checker lacking the word skill set probably. I have a lot of sympathy for honest job recruiters, but unfortunately get spammed mainly by indian subsidiaries for 6 month contracts, and they read my resume that I have been with the same company for 12 years ... at some point I made my accounts on these web sites invisible. When they screw up some project in India and they have to deliver to North America, they usually hire some poor local to fix the mess for a couple of months ... if they can find someone. Unfortunately I was forced to put in my spam list every indian name that sends me an email. Always the same tired BS.

It was not a misspelled word.

That would have been more appropriate for [this LinkedIn user](https://twitter.com/j4n0/status/1125380024733925377)

Yeah it was. BTW, just got another spam for a J2EE contract in Halifax of all places. If someone is interested I think I still have the email in the spam folder :)

So you assert that 'skillet' is incorrect?

That's still better than one idiot who contacted me a month ago. One of my coworkers had just left, and management decided to try a few new recruiters out. One of the :sunshine:s was so :elephant:ing eager to spam every developer in the region that he couldn't even be bothered to check if I was already working for the company that hired him to post my ex-coworkers job. :doh: The only "good" part of the affair is that that act of stupid probably permanently disqualified the idiot from ever doing work for us in the future. :-\

After reading the post and all the replies I come to three conclusions: 1) The title of your post should be "Lazy Recruiters". They don't take the time to re-read their e-mail before sending it. I will admit that their English is better than my whatever their native tongue is, and that this might be the problem. 2) Spell checkers are evil but necessary as no on that came from school at any level in the past 30 years or so can spell worth a damn. 3) The puns you guys do are really bad. Please keep it up. :-D :-D :laugh:
Maybe they just need someone to "cook the books". (with apologies to Julia Child and accountants everywhere)

The word Skillet [^] was not misspelled, which is why it got through. (Thus the point of my post...)

I getting them now for warehouse worker and factory assembly line worker from some company I never heard of. I heard recruiters are hitting the prisons now searching for talent.
