My favorite is when they message me about roles that would be demotions and/or paycuts. No, I’m not interested in a staff or senior role that would pay $30k-$50k less than my current salary.

they found someone better. or you were their back up and their top choice reached back out

Then tell me that.

I had a recruiter reach out and we locked in a time for a chat. Time came and went with no call, and then they reached out the next day saying “oh hey can you meet tomorrow?”
I did not reply lol

Sounds like a dating app.
