I feel that the reason that recruiting sucks is because there's a misalignment between the recruiter and the employer.

>>The recruiter want to put butts in seats. That's how they get paid.

>>The employer needs to get more work done. That's how they get paid.

The goal for the recruiter is to find people who want jobs and then put them in seats. Sure, it's great if the person is a perfect fit and ends up building a strong recruiter relationship, but at the end of the day third-party recruiters are mercenaries, not missionaries.

Besides for yelling at employers, I'm not sure how this is different.
