I am frequently contacted by recruiters looking for leads. This isn’t an attempt to blow my own horn, I’m sure you are also constantly pestered.
What is frustrating is the recruiters who come calling for leads are universally unaware of the meetups and user groups in the local area for the role they are recruiting for!
Recruiters, how do you expect to be effective in your role as go between if you do not make even the most basic of efforts to join the community for which you are claiming to be proficient in sourcing talent from ?
