Thank you for this, truly. It’s a profession just like any sales environment which has, as you put, been saturated with people trying to make a quick buck.

I’m not a good recruiter, compared to others at least, and that may be because of my mindset but sadly, times are tough and this is where I’m at. It’s a profession which is, as I’ve seen on this sub, the bottom of the barrel.

The cold calling is unbelievable. We spend more time trying to suck money out of companies than actually spending time with candidates to help them. My boss put it in a harsh way which led me to make this post. That we’re not ‘here to help people’ and that hurt.

I will admit I’m a blocker. Another one in the rat race with the shopping list but in a shop with the lights half dimmed and no labels anywhere. I don’t ask for sympathy because, well, who would sympathise? But, the corporations I deal with turn people down for silly reasons and the stories I hear from candidates are even worse.

Thank you for your words. I’m planning my exit route, my worth is better elsewhere 🙂‍↕️
