I got a message on LinkedIn from an HR rep at a machining and tooling company requesting my resume. I'm not sure why since there were no openings for apprentice tool makers. I sent her a few questions first, because I don't like sending personal information without a valid reason. She never replied, so I didn't bother. About a month later I saw her at a community college, where HR reps from machining and tooling companies in the GTA and southwestern Ontario met with general machining and tool making students. She was with the company's manufacturing manager. They had no positions open to students. This perplexed me. The entire meeting seemed pointless, because most of the companies there were not interested in hiring students without shop experience. My point: they just want to let people know of future options, after the students have completed their apprenticeships.
Job recruiters are paid to procure resumes. I suspect they must meet a quota.
The best way to get a resume reviewed by HR and passed on to the appropriate manager is to submit it through a personal referral. My workplace does most of their hiring this way.
