Like many outsourced jobs to India, the recruiting industry has become a prime target for mass market outsourcing, and India as always has the jump on the mass market outsourcing. Many of the Indian recruiters who contact you will actually be located in the US, but they are typically calling from Indian-run agencies that are HQu2019d in India. Other times, they will actually be calling you from India directly, as pointed out in another answeru2026they work overnight to match the U.S. time zone.I absolutely refuse to deal with them because of the utter lack of professionalism. These u201crecruitersu201d have no idea what job they are sourcing for. They just do key word searches based on a work order they are given by their manager, and then they contact you. I am, myself, a professional recruiter here in the US. I have been contacted by these u201crecruitersu201d from India for $7/hr customer service jobs that were 2 - 3 hours away from where I live. This just goes to show how unprofessional they are - a key word pops up in the database search, and they donu2019t even bother looking at the resume - they just call or in most cases, blind e-mail a job description to you.I have dealt with 2 Indian recruiters beyond an initial phone call in my lifetime. In both cases, they exhibited the exact same behavior:Called about the jobdescribed it, in very poor detail, and could barely give me an idea about the company itselfAsked for a copy of my resume to be e-mailed to a static, non-personalized addressCut off all contact with me immediately after the phone call - no calls, no e-mail responsesGot ANGRY and very rude when they called me back almost a year later expecting me to have been waiting around for the job they contacted me about 10 months ago.When I receive a communication telling me about a u201cgreat opportunityu201d for $7/hr as a customer service agent, when I have been an HR Recruiter for 5 years making $85K+, I am not only insulted, but I am also amused to an extent. I have zero tolerance for this lack of professionalism, and just recently I let one of them have itu2026I wrote a very nasty, harshly-worded e-mail back to a recruiter who wanted to speak to me about a $9/hr contract customer service position that I would have to relocate halfway across the country for. I get customer service contact a lot because I recruiter for CS at my company, hence it is on my resume and pops up in key word searches. Well, I wasnu2019t having it, and I am sick of these unprofessional contacts.There was nothing at all racial in my incredibly harsh e-mail, but I flat out made it clear that I did not want to hear from them again, that their unprofessional conduct bordered on utter stupidity, and that they had no business in recruiting. I wound up getting a call from the manager of the company who asked me why I responded so harshly to a great opportunity. When I told him that relocating 1200 miles to take $9/hr job on contract for 4 months when it clearly shows on my resume that I am an HR Recruiter internally for my company, and that I make $85K/yr, up to $110K/yr with bonus, I would have to be as stupid as his recruiter who contacted me to take the job. He seemed dumbfounded and still asked why I wouldnu2019t consider the opportunity anyway as a career change. I told him that he should take the job if itu2019s such an amazing opportunity, and he said that it would be a major step down for him. He then questioned why the term u201ccustomer serviceu201d was on my resume, and I told him to read my resume. He said he didnu2019t have it in front of him.The conversation basically ended with me telling him that he and his staff were unprofessional deadbeats, and that I wanted my resume and contact information removed from their database before I report them for breaching of privacy act (which technically doesnu2019t exist in the way I phrased it, but they know nothing about the U.S.). The manager began to stutter and apologized and I hung up.Yesterday, I was called by 3 different Indian u201crecruitersu201d for the same jobu2026again, a job that would be roughly 3 hours commuting time each way if I were to drive rather than relocate. Each one could barely describe the position in the e-mail. I told all of them to take me out of their database and never contact me again.So as stated, recruiting is a mass market outsource job for Indian agencies. I highly recommend hanging up on them and/or deleting any e-mails they send your way - even if the job they talk to you about does sound enticing, hereu2019s the thing - THEY ARE NOT RECRUITING FOR IT. They do not have a contract. They are instead trying to get your resume so that can try and u201csellu201d it to the company that has the job. They are almost always rejected (I reject non-contracted Indian recruiter submissions on a daily basis). Then your resume winds up in a garbage pile of resumes that they received from those so-called u201crecruitersu201d that they now will not want to consider because if the recruiter finds out about it, theyu2019ll start trying to make legal trouble if they bring you in for interview on their own accord.Avoid Indian recruiters at all costs. NOTHING good will come of it.
