Bang on! Imagine that none of the recruiters that Inundated me with sales calls when I was employed in executive position, even bothered to return my calls when I actually needed them. One f…ing call! Yet I am asked to remember them when I need to hire people yeah, right.

Happened to me too! A time when I was looking for a change, I’d met a recruiter with absolutely no regard for my time or skills. A year later, we met again at an event and then she was only too keen for my attention. Why? As an MNC’s HR Manager, I could be a potential client…. Her actions cost her organization much as well.

Ahhh Sherri! Spoken like the true genius you are – to the point with a smidgen of diplomacy! This limbo is far closer to hell and fire than heaven though – right? HAH!

I believe there is a common secret fantasy amongst us sales people, the one where we become the company purchasing something worth a bazillion yen and the vendor, who’s career hinges on successfully landing the deal, is a past procurement manager that treated us with less respect then a piece of gum stuck to a shoe.

I’m pretty sure what goes around comes around and I’m sure that there is a special place in limbo for all recruiters…not heaven, not hell, just limbo. Perfecto!

HAH! Douchebag! – somehow so appropriate for chumps who don’t get that whole little rule of sewing and reaping. I also wonder why it’s ok for Barack to call Kanye a jack ass but Recruiter chumps like the ones I’ve heard multiple horror stories about can’t be called the same for doing far worse… although Kanye was truly out of line.

Bang on perspective, Shannon. It never fails to amaze me how people continuously barge their way through life and expect it to go unnoticed. Especially in this tiny little digital space we inhabit – there’s no such thing as anonymity.

That recruiter in Toronto? Class A douchebag. But I’m a firm believer in karma and I’m pretty comfortable that the tide will turn pretty sharp sooner rather than later as more stories come out.
