ITT We post stupid communications by headhunters
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2014 2:59 pm
feel like this thread is long overdue. i'll start with one from "The Partners Group". It initially began as an email like this:
NOT TO RESPOND.
If you don't respond, that's the universal message in headhunters for "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE." anyways, a few weeks later, I get an email from the same person regarding the same posting:
note that i a work nowhere near atlanta, but somehow these guys think i would be a GREAT fit for this random firm in Atlanta. anyways, when you receive an email from a headhunter that you don't want to engage, the standard response is...Hi [my name],

We have a new, exclusive corporate associate position with one of our favorite clients, the Atlanta office of a national firm.

Again, there's nothing to follow up on here. i didn't respond, so i'm not interested. Sure enough, a few weeks after this one:Just following up here!
