Does anyone else keep a list of recruiters or companies that they will not deal with or is it just me?

I do that too. I also try and go around recruiters and seek out who makes the hiring decisions. Trusting my financial future in the hands of a recruiter is dumb and reckless. How many times will one find it acceptable for auto declines and traditional ways of applying for jobs have became a crapshoot.

I do that too, as there have been some scam companies (misrepresentingthe position, etc) and just terrible recruiters.

Hi,
Attended interview in hexaware, selected and completed CAF form. HR mentioned that it's sent for approval. But it's been a week and didn't got offer letter.
In general, how long it will take for approval of offer letter and get it released?

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit.

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
