Recruiters have gotten smarter.

Not that it matters, as I’m soon to form my own company, but out of town recruiters have gotten a tad smarter. They’re at least using VOIP based local numbers to call from now. Before, I could easily weed them out by local or non-local numbers. But the same goons are calling from the same companies that are out of town and have no relationship with local clients.

I’ve been bad about posting lately, but as the company formation comes along, I’ll post progress on it as a “how to” for others.

Non-local Recruiters

Jesus. I’m having a tough time figuring out how so many recruiters are non-local. I mean, they can’t seriously have direct relationships with local Atlanta companies, can they? By non-local, I mean New Jersey, Minnesota, and California. It looks like AT&T is looking for a SharePoint trainer type. It sounds like a good gig, but I’ve gotten 6 e-mails about the same job in an hour. None of them are local to Atlanta. To add to it, they’re all so blessed relentless. One company called me 6-8 times a day after I told them I wasn’t interested, trying to get me to let them submit me on a position.  Ugh.
