I think Riverrunner has it right. I’m a credit analysts with over 25 years of experience. I get calls from headhunters at like least twice a week offering me $55-60k a year. I try not to be rude, but really?
They are carelessly hoping you are an H1B - which is what the employer is really looking for.
We have managed to hire recently by raising the wages but most importantly by offering job titles that serve as an ego boost. A percentage of our hires still prove to have been lying on their resumes and are unemployable, but the title brings in many decent applicants who would not bother applying for the job if it had a traditional name. This is why the big tech companies offer so many crazy-sounding CXO positions - bragging rights mean even more than cash, especially to female employees under 50.
“Henry arms is trying to recruit CNC machinists starting at 17 dollars an hour what a joke.”
That’s a good one! HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!
I DID bust up laughing!
Bottom line: until employers are willing to pay “fair” wages to match what the economy is doing, they won’t get any (good) help.
