Is it just me or are recruiters no longer PC these days? Had a call with a recruiter yesterday and they were bashing the person who previously held the role I was interested in. So awkward.

I would stay the fuck away from that recruiter, and if it were me I would let the hiring manager know. If they talk like they about the previous person, they'll talk like that about you.

That’s a pretty big red flag for me, just as it would be for them if I trash-talked my current or former employers.

Recruiters are some of the worst people I've ever met. Basically they'll say anything to make the sale. Not surprised at all.

Agreed! Though this person did a horrible job selling the role 😂

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.
