A few weeks ago one recruiter made the rounds of all the developers who worked in our building- with violent disregard to the skill sets of said developers. They were looking for a senior backend dev, but this recruiter was emailing frontenders, UXers, designers, devops, they really didn't care who you were. The pitch itself was ridiculous bordering on nonsensical due to the recruiter's extreme non-understanding of what he was describing, and he didn't bother to change it from person to person. Over a period of a few days we watched as this same pitch cropped up from person to person. It was painfully obvious this guy either had no clue, or wasn't even trying. Really, what kind of response did he expect? Who doesn't want to work for a 'HOT Music 2.0 startup'!
