I have gotten to the point that if you have an Indian accent on the phone, I simply tell them I am off the market. It seems to be the magic phrase that gets them off the phone the quickest.
Also, if an Indian emails me about Benoit, Wisconsin — or any other location other than Atlanta, GA — I add them them to my Yahoo.mail banned domain filter. I never will be able to see any more emails from their entire domain.
They are the HIV of the recruiting world.
Wait, I thought you had a 50% above average all-Murican job!
What’s even worse is that they are often from a firm that isn’t even the main contracting firm with the real company.
Some fat-cat Indian contracting firm (WiPro) is the point of contact with the real client, but WiPro doesn’t want to dirty their hands with, you know, actual people. So they in turn hire BumbleFark Consultants to find and run actual people to fill the positions.
Now you have TWO middlemen between talking directly with the client during the interview process, and TWO middlemen being vampires on your actual pay.
And on top of that most only want to hire their own countrymen, and treat people in general like crap.
I think you should make $143 per hour, working at home, 30 hours a week.
But I do not have the money to pay you.
Good Luck, Laz.
I’ve had similar but a lot shorter conversations with IRs too.
Lately I’ve been getting message from IRs about a month or two here or there way on the other side of the country from me.
The Indians that do customer service for American Express are unbelievably and consistently excellent at their jobs.
All of the other Indians, Filipinos, etc that other companies use are retarded.
There is no reason these jobs can’t be done by US citizen stay at home moms, college students, welfare recipients, etc.
Time to bring these jobs back to America
I’m down the food chain sufficiently to never have to speak to recruiters. I hired an Indian software engineer who rivals our top indigenous staff in quality and output. She’s a team member, and a brilliant codesmith.
You find a truffle now and then. Hell, I’ll interview and test anyone who makes it through the background, drug and legal screening.
Our polygraph and pee test scares off a good percentage of the “locals.”
Ah yes the old “switch on the final SQL procedure for the different final behavior”
No this connection is how Beloit got its name. According to folklore and a very good friend who lives in Beloit, Beloit was named by an American Indian chief. It seems he was taking a bath in the Rock River which runs through Beloit and cut a fart. The sound that resulted was "BELOIT". He decided at once, that spot would be named Beloit.
And there you have today's history lesson on the founding and naming of Beloit, Wisconsin.
