Making mistakes in job postings

Came across this blog which tries to post technical and software jobs in India.

Check this post by a third party recruiter which starts off trying to keep the name of the client secret but eventually lets it slip out by the third sentence. The client is Microsoft. And I am wondering if the slip is deliberate or a really stupid attempt to cut paste the job description from another email !

Recuiters also have to learn to use proper English and understand that not everyone understands their jargon. For example, this post says: "Pl see specs below"

For most laymen in India "specs" means spectacles and not specifications !

As a recruiter you are a sales-person. Do you speak your customer's language?

  1. Thanks Gautam, I publish this blog. We get content from employer sites, HR, various agencies, other sources and we publish the same.

    We do take care of rephrasing the content, content flow, highlighting certain aspects of it. We do all this for free as of now :) However certain agencies recruitment executives are not that good in content creating and they end up giving us an improper content. We will take note of your comment and communicate the same to improve upon.

    Many thanks for visiting.
