Fun Recruiter Messages by Ben Ramsey

Earlier today in the #coderabbi Freenode IRC channel, we were discussing recruiter messages. I thought I’d share one of my favorite gems from over the years.

Would you like to join one of the fastest growing start-ups in Rhode Island? Would you like to be apart [sic] company that makes dreams come true? If you are passionate about Ruby and Opensource technology development than [sic] this is the place for you. Wouldn’t it be nice to come home every day and know you are doing what you love in a company that loves your work? This is not just your average “job”. This is opportunity; this is a blur between dreams and reality; this is the opportunity that is going to slingshot you to happiness & career satisfaction.

Without shaming, ridiculing, or calling out any individuals, what’s your favorite recruiter message?

"I just wanted to let you know your trial with us is half over, and that I am your new point of contact."
-- a recruiter voicemail from an area code i have not lived in for 7 years. (plus my point of pride of having never talked to a recruiter ever in my life).

Someone should make a website with an assortment of these

I removed a comment, since it contained a recruiter's name. In my post, I specifically asked that we not call out any individuals. That's not cool.
