I put my profile on a job search site hoping to get HIRED as a software engineer. A recruiter reached out to me and I was really excited. I already had a few other offers but I liked the opportunity so much that I was willing to drop those offers. I got back to the recruiter right away and we hopped on a phone call. He seemed to care more about what video games I played than my technical abilities. I am fine with that but he seemed to not be a video gamer to me. I can't really describe it but it felt like he was pretending to be a video gamer. I talked about so many different games and it never really seemed to spark any interest in him. Then he just kept asking me do you play DOTA? Even though I told him I played in high school over 10 years ago :( Then when it was my turn to ask questions. I wanted to know what my responsibilities would be, what team this I would be on, what kind of work I would be doing. He had no answer to my questions. He told me he doesn't know and would have to talk to a bigger hiring committee or some BS to figure out where I would fit in. He assured me he would get back in 24 hours and never did... I am sure the employees, in general, are great people but I did not have a good experience with the recruiter. I think that he just sucks at his job. I feel like he did a poor job of listening, did not evaluate my skills as an individual contributor, and he did not prepare at all because he couldn't tell me anything about the position.
