> Here's the thing: most recruiters are not very good at what they do and are only chasing placements.

Related anecdote: There was a technology recruiter that was constantly calling me at work, despite the fact that my work number is not listed anywhere* and my LinkedIn profile having clear instructions not to do that.

I decided to look him up on LinkedIn. Guess what his previous job was? Debt collector.

* I figure the recruiters get around that by calling the front desk and asking to be transferred to me.
