This is another good example of "recruitment agency" uselessness.
On November 12, 2014 I received an email from their recruiter about a
six-month visual designer position in Boston. I responded with, “Thank you for
your email. While I have the skills listed (including 3D animation), their stipulation
that my portfolio be ‘current’ means they won't consider anyone who is
unemployed (my last major contract ended one year ago and I have only been
working small freelance gigs).” I received no response.
On December 3, this same recruiter emailed me again with the same job
description, though the title had now changed to “art director.” I responded,
“I responded to an email you sent me back on 11/12 regarding a similar role,
which I have pasted below (you never responded).”
Her response: “Apologies, I missed that email below. Right now we have
the following role open ‘Art Director’, please let me know you interest.”
I guess she was too lazy to go back and read my initial response, so
why should I bother sending it a second time?
On December 10, I received an email from her colleague for the
identical job. I guess he didn’t bother to check if the first recruiter had already
contacted me. I responded with a cut/paste, “I have already responded about
this position to your colleague, X, on 12/3 as follows…”
No response received. And that was the end of that.
