Why Engineers Hate Recruiters in one picture
This is a screenshot from my spam folder from a few months ago (I’m a slow writer, OK), the only editing I have done is to remove the non-recruiter emails.
I’ve attempted to summarize in a more digestible form:
Position | Technology | Emails |
---|---|---|
Devops/Platform/Cloud Engineer | AWS | 7 |
Developer | Go | 1 |
Developer | .NET | 8 |
Developer | Python | 1 |
Data/Solutions Architect | Azure | 2 |
Support Analyst | Windows | 1 |
Devops/Platform Engineer | GCP | 2 |
Devops/Platform/Cloud Engineer | Azure | 1 |
Server/Storage Engineer | Windows/Linux | 1 |
You might be forgiven for thinking that I’m either a C# (do people say .NET, these days?) developer or an AWS DevOps Engineer but I’m an, mostly, Azure DevOps Engineer with a bit of experience in AWS who used to be a C# Developer and also a Solutions Architect, I think both Python and golang do feature in my CV too.
I really wish that they did more than just a keyword search on the CVs and stop spamming people with completely random and irrelevant positions.
Even more galling is the fact that the one time I got a very relevant email and responded recruiter it was simply ignored.
