Recruiters are notorious ghosters. They're worse than people who online date as far as their fake promises of follow-up. I HATE recruiters but unfortunately we're stuck dealing with those sleazy sales people (that's what they are). I was up for a technical writer job for a yearlong contract after a recruiter on LinkedIn contacted me about. When I read an article that explained how recruiters make commissions for all the resumes that they collect from job seekers, especially from LinkedIn, I knew I had been scammed by that LinkedIn recruiter. There was no contract or technical writer job. I even contacted the company she claimed had hired her to verify the writer contract. Their human resources recruiter claimed she didn't know who that recruiter was, so either SHE was also lying to me to cover her ***, or was telling the truth.

I hate recruiters. They're all sleaze bags. I miss the previous way human resources depts were structured when an actual human resources assistant did the hiring.
