I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

This is why technical recruiters frustrate me. It’s less blatant of a disconnect for PM obviously, but they’re the gatekeepers for positions they don’t even understand and could never do

I dont even answer these types recruiters from halfway around the world who don’t speak our language, don’t understand what I do and have found some 7 year old resume of mine floating on the interent. It’s basically spam recruiting and any company that will hire with that method is one I don’t want to work for anyway.

Most recruiters are just bad lol. They just want to find any random person to fill the role so they could get whatever cut or meet whatever quota that's required.

I usually give a generic response saying that the role they're trying to fill is not suited for me. If they're pressing me to fill a random position they may have or don't know how to speak properly as a recruiter, then I just usually ignore/ghost them.

I literally don’t even bother when I get calls or messages about positions clearly not meant for me. If someone told me Java, I’d politely say I do not have experience with that and end it there

This could totally be an AI bot.
