In my experience people who are hiring are often greatly confused about all things related to hiring. Hunters is not the word I would use.
They also seem to be clueless about the roles they’re hiring for. I’ve been contacted by many recruiters who can’t even answer the simple question what role they’re trying to fill or in which company.
This is why nurses have shadow shifts now. You do the initial interview to get permission then just randomly show up one day that week in scrubs and follow a current employee around not even touching anything just watching for a few hours and talking to everybody to see if they're sketchy because nurse recruiters literally have no idea what you actually do they just get paid to find you on linkedin.
Many recruiters are reluctant to answer which company because, if you knew, you might circumvent them and apply directly.
I’ve found it’s easy to do this anyway because the tricks they use to obfuscate the job description tend to be predictable. The original job posting can usually be found within a minute. That’s also without using AI search tools, which might be faster.
Also, where did I claim to be the best? Why do I even want to be the best?
Like no-one ever was? To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause...
Why the fuck would anyone want to travel across the land, searching far and wide?
Right? Like to teach Pokemon to understand the power that's inside or something?
POKÉMON!
