@bahua so true.
Had one lie straight in my face regarding a position and even tried to get me to lie to the company.
I refused but went as far as an interview that I cut short in 5 minutes telling them straight up that the recruiter had not been honest when setting up the interview.
I hope they took note and requested a refund. -
@Voxera Had the same. Told the recruiter, and he had my CV, that I am a C/C++ dev preferring Linux. 10 Minutes into the interview the CTO said:
"We are working with Windows only, and everything is written in Ruby."
Shortest interview of my life. 😊 -
@Yamakuzure windows and ruby, just setting it up is a nightmare
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Recruiters call me and be like "I'm looking for a Python Developer to work in London with 5 Years of experience - Is that something you'd be interested in?"
I respond with - "Sure.. only if you can tell me where the f**k you found the word Python on my CV or ANYWHERE online."
1 - I've got ZERO experience in Python...
2 - I've got 3 Years experience in development regardless of being in anything Python related...
3 - I live 1-2 hours away from London...
Come on guys - Do you even read CVs before you blindly call? How shit are you!?
If I spent all my time calling candidates that had no relevance for the role I'm recruiting for (most likely to get call times up) back when I was a recruiter, my boss would have my nuts for lunch for making the agency look bad.
