Re: [Haskell-cafe] Google headhunters

Same here, except that I got a reply to my reply :-) Janek Dnia środa, 4 grudnia 2013, Alp Mestanogullari napisał:

I have been hit by a few since the beginning of the summer too. All of them were actual recruiters, I exchanged a few emails with some of them and had one on the phone. I think they are expanding a few teams in Europe and are just looking for "more new googlers than usual".

I got the same thing, but based on my github account. The person who contacted me has a consistent LinkedIn account, and his email passed SPF, DKIM, and rPTR.

[...] Re work: curiously, I recently received an unsolicited email from Google inviting me to 'have a conversation' [managementspeak yeuch!]. This was apparently based on my volume of postings on the forum. (I suspect not on their quality ;-) I suggested that first they look at my LinkedIn page, which would have roughly revealed my age -- already greater than yours will be when you 'come out of school'.

Since then, nothing. Nada. Not even an acknowledgement. Rude, I call it.

I think you'll find ageism is still rife in the industry.

Sorry for totally leaving the original topic here, but:

Same for me: Got an e-mail from some "technical sourcer", replied (I'll actually be looking for a job soon), never got anything back. - Twice!

I imagine they do a

...

forM_ (users haskell_cafe) $ \u -> when ("functional" `elem` words (linkedin_page u)) $ send (std_email u) u

, but with several agents which don't sync back their results.

Doesn't seem to be age-related, though. (I'm 25)
