You're a great DevOp! Everything you do is awesome, of course you already know all there is to know about everything! Keep being awesome. Good bye HN thanks for the constant CENSOR…

Join a firm and learn the business. Like almost everything, there's more to it than what appears on the surface. Good luck.

Dear potential candidate, I promise you. I will not tell you how to do your job or be critical of the way you are doing your job - even if you are sometimes wasting my time. Sincer…

Finally in agreement. IMO, technical people are more often not good salespeople or recruiters.

Peroni is in the UK and doesn't have a good perspective on US recruitment.

"get back to what I love doing which is exposing the industry for the giant cesspitt it is." Your words reveal that you are not the altruist you pretend to be. I want to believe yo…

Waaaayyyy over simplified! Hire someone to handle the procurement, if you're not big enough - you'll have to do it yourself. Welcome to Smallco.

This sounds like an admission of pandering. But to answer your summation, I would not pander no matter the 'benefit'.

I for one will not miss the blatant pandering you espoused here, but wish you luck nonetheless. Hopefully your future contribution 'justifies' your remuneration in your next assign…

Agree with not offering the first number. Also tell them, 'money is important, but more important is the opportunity and the people I'd be working with.' If this fails and they off…

Is the question how much is earned per placement or per year? Each is very dependent on the individual and firm. In the US recruiters charge 15-30% of base and/or total comp...depe…

This statement is bait.

Funny and true.

Good question and difficult to answer...truthfully I hadn't ever given it much thought until this article. But first, I can tell good candidates from bad by what they've accomplish…

My apologies. I read HN b/c intelligent people write here.

I doubt you will hear anyone make that claim, but only b/c it's not a flattering revelation. Truly I do understand your points and they are valid. How about a post then on how to a…

Has anyone stopped to ask, 'Why do I only get calls from bad recruiters'? "Why am I not on the radar of good recruiters'?

If only the bad recruiters are calling you what do you think that says about you?

'...purpose of the blog is to expose the flaws in the industry...' Judging from the activity there's plenty of recognition of the industries flaws. Unfortunately, negative press is…

Perhaps you should provide equal time and write about good recruiters and the value they bring to candidates and companies alike. Maybe "All that's right with the recruitment indus…

'there are plenty of good recruiters out their however there are infinitely more bad recruiters...' I know there are plenty of others out there just as fed up with the self-inflict…

Thanks, I've been an executive recruiter for 15 years and only read HN because of the thought leaders who write here. I recruit and work with high level execs who actually understa…

Do you think there's a recruiting board somewhere where they complain about snarky coders?
