I am an intermediate-senior level software engineer with team lead experience, and I had been contacted multiple times over 6 months on LinkedIn with cringy "opportunity of a lifetime awaits you!" etc. etc. messages by a recruiter from Citco. The same recruiter contacted me again after I was laid off due to COVID-19 and I was at least inclined to respond. The recruiter demonstrated a mind-numbing lack of professionalism and respect for me as a candidate (or, as he most likely saw me, a "lead"). When I responded that I was willing to chat he set up a meeting for the next day, during business hours, on a video meeting platform I had never heard of, apparently without thinking to ask about my availability or preferred contact method - just "I set up a meeting, accept the invitation." It was a video call so I turned on my camera and he did not reciprocate. It was then that he revealed the job description as a PDF, which described what could very generously be described as junior-level "LAwl U riTe suM CodEz" responsibilities. He asked in a sing-songy voice about salary expectations, to which I responded "at least" and a substantially lower than usual number given the whole COVID situation. The recruiter balked in a manner that was audible even with his video turned off, and rushed to end the call. That was a new low, even as far as clueless LinkedIn recruiters go. Does this company even bother to figure out what skills and what professional level the candidates it tries to recruit are at? Do they perhaps think they're being clever to take advantage of a crisis to try and acquire skilled human resources at bargain basement prices is a good way to run a company? I can only imagine what their working environment is like as far as career advancement and growth/learning opportunities go, and the level to which they value their people.
