I refuse to work with recruiters now. They are racist gaslighting obstructive and stalky. It’s to the point I just demand they leave me alone or report them on LinkedIn for harassment.

Love to hear as well. If you've asked someone to stop reaching out to you, you can disconnect to that person. I would hope if you were clear that you no longer wanted to be contacted they would not do so. I am a small business so everything is very personal but some of the bigger companies may just have bots or staff that reach out without consideration of any notes or comments you may have given in the past. Please don't lump all of us recruiters in together, because some of us consider ourselves life coaches, and do the very best we can to help professionals advance in his/her career.

I recently had a recruiting firm texting, calling and demanding that I approve that they submit to a firm. It makes me wonder if they submitted me without my knowledge and maybe that’s why they were so desperate for approval. I now submit myself. I wonder if self-applicants are better off? I don’t know.

If their recruiting firm is a member of NALSC, you can report them to the organization. NALSC establishes ethical guidelines for recruiters and law firms are also members. We're not all like this person and sorry you have experienced this. Also, if someone tells me no, I would not continue reaching out or wait like six months.

It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?" It hasn't explicitly been said, but I'm one of the only Black attorneys at the firm and I think my white colleagues and partners see me as an example of how Black folks "should be" cause I mind my business. Basically I feel like a token, and I don't know how to shift that idea while staying professional.
