So tired of lazy recruiters. Does anyone else get stuff like this? Lead robotic software engineer. No where in my resume does it say I’ve been a lead or do software. Mostly these come from indeed, but seriously read peoples resumes when recruiting.

It's even worse when there's no JD and they say they think you'd be a great fit and ask immediately for you resume. How am I great fit if you need my resume?

I’ve had recruiters message me on LinkedIn saying “Dear [CANDIDATE]” or even just straight give me the JD with no intro.

I had one woman not even change the name in the template, it said "Hi Mellisa, hope this message finds you well"

My name is not Melissa.

Anyways, I replied saying, hey this message looks like it was intended for Melissa and you sent it to the wrong person by mistake.

And this woman replies, no it was meant for you, and didn't even acknowledge her mistake and just doubled down

I’m a recruiter and I feel your pain. I too get emails for roles which do not align with my skills. Let me call it like it is, those are Staffing Recruiters who don’t recruit for one specific pipeline so as they get requisitions they are not familiar with instead of emerging themselves with the must haves they rush to “try” to identify candidates. They go about it the long wrong way.

Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
