These so-called “recruiters” will, for the most part, wash out from the industry in a year or two, leaving nothing more than a black mark on the professional reputation for those of us who are in this because this is more than a job for us: it’s our lives’ work, our passion and our purpose.

This is why I’m consigned to getting solicited for my opinion by manifold parties, all wanting me to impart some sort of sage advice or pat answer when I’m pretty sure no such thing exists, at least from my experience in this business. Candidates Lie. It’s a part of life.

Recruiters are sinking their own ship, and meaningful advances seem effectively blockaded by general animosity and disdain for those of us who find ourselves at work in the business of finding work.

If you’re one of those recruiters who’s at all in tune with the conversation happening in closed Facebook groups, niche industry forums or consume content and commentary in the weird little world that is the recruiting related blogosphere, you’ve probably noticed a new trend surfacing on social.

Another post bashing recruiters. Because you just can’t get enough of people who don’t do your job talking about how damn bad you are at yours. But the thing is, I’m a recruiter, too – and I’m angry. The best recruiters are too busy recruiting to worry about this sort of personal branding BS.

I’m a hell of a recruiter – and have a career’s worth of results to back me up. That’s why I like sharing them with you – I’ve dealt with enough crazy over the course of my career (and made enough mistakes, Lord knows) to at least provide a laugh, and hopefully, a learning opportunity.

These practitioners practice nothing but profiteering, at the expense of all of us in this profession who are actually, you know, professionals. Recruiters have a hard time trusting candidates because they think that they’ll do or say anything to get an offer (even when their background and references check out).

“You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.”. Like so many other recruiters, I started out my career in talent acquisition working a desk at an agency. Charles Bukowski. YOLO, you know – you only live once.

Hey, told you this was a while back… At the time, Intel was not a client of ours, which meant, in the agency world, that they were open season for employee poaching – er, “targeted recruiting,” if you’d like. No matter how bad your day was at work, that was enough to make it better.

It really pisses me off how much money recruiters and employers throw away every year on stuff like posting jobs online or developing an employer brand presence, only to completely neglect the fact that no matter how awesome your career site is, no matter how big your budget for recruitment marketing might be, it doesn’t really matter.

At this point in my career, I’ve pretty much seen it all , or so I had thought, until a couple of weeks ago. Now, before I go too far, I’d like to reiterate my belief that recruiters, mostly, are good people, and that despite all of our transgressions, most of us have some sort of heart hidden in there. Gone Phishing.

We talk a ton about “candidate experience,” but the truth is having a good experience works both ways, really, and most of the time, it’s the candidate treating the recruiter like s**t, not the other way around. That’s right. Definitely, Maybe. Don’t Go Away.

You apply to a ton of roles, fill out endless forms online, and then sit by a phone that never rings while no one bothers to even look at the applications you spent so much time and effort on. There is no reason for anybody in your possible next employer to be made privy to your personal financial information. Nothing, mostly.

We can sit around and talk until we’re blue in the face (and do) about how important candidate experience is, how ethical we are in our recruiting, how the employer brands we represent are genuinely great corporate citizens and even better companies to work for. Whatever helps you sleep at night, I suppose.

Bottom line, women aren’t treated with the same lense and equal opportunities in the workplace, in government and now, even on social media sites.
