Recruiter here, What would actually make the hiring process better for you?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been recruiting in the tech industry for about 5 years now, mainly for mid-to-senior engineering and product roles across the U.S. and Europe. Over time, I’ve realized that while we recruiters see things one way, candidates often have a very different experience.

I’d like to hear from you directly:
– What’s one thing you wish recruiters would stop doing?
– And what’s one thing you’d like to see more of in the hiring process?

I’m genuinely looking to better understand where we can improve, communication, transparency, interview prep, or even the way we reach out. Honest, constructive feedback is very welcome.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. I’ll be reading through all the comments and replying where I can.

As an engineer the thing that bugs me the most is getting emails, calls and texts for mechanic positions...they say they have seen my resume but I've never done mechanic type work...always engineering...I'm not interested in a mech job paying $25/hour...sorry but that's a waste of everyone's time...I'm not remotely qualified for that kind of job, so please just reach out with engineering related work
