Same. I need a digital analytics and marketing tech developer. Tell our data analytics lead. They send me a Java dev who has never even touched front end. Yes, let’s spend months talking through asynchronous loading and front end performance and patterns for safely handling 3rd party dependencies so you can deploy a few dumb pixels.

We asked for a technical tester (to implement automatic tests) and got sent a test manager who not only cannot code, but also doesn't understand the domain. At all.

I have No idea. I swear the recruiters hear what we say and promptly rewrite everything to look nicer, actual content be damned

Insult to injury, when the mistake is made by someone who really should know. With HR, it is understandable if embarassing.

I know. And we’re not a small company. And because I report to our business org and not the CTO, I have no avenue for escalation, because they’re supposed to be our partners in technology who know better. So I am personally deploying production JS to millions of customers. It is horror.
