...do clients send an email asking for your help on 2 (juicy) searches and then go dark?
...do candidates not read a job description or refer to it in any way?
....does this guy I'm viewing use the term "Synergy Leader" in his Linkedin profile?
I'll be back with more. Feel free to add your own...

No, I won't be interviewing your spouse/neighbor/cousin/bank teller/garbage man/ex-spouse/roommate/paper boy for role he or she couldn't be ANY LESS QUALIFIED FOR. I love you, referring employee, but I want to smack you repeatedly about the head with the employee referral program. Stay away from my desk.

This is a dangerous question - but I certainly agree with all the ones mentioned. My favorite is managers who give me the worst job descriptions with no details and expect me to "fix it" - who knows best about the job? My other favorite is candidates who readily admit "I haven't done any research on your company and I really don't have any questions." I am sure there are more but I try not to dwell on them

Wow - it should be an open forum for people to express frustrations. If you don't like the forum - don't read the posts.

Smiles! :)

Can only imagine the barf-fest of an elevator pitch that dude must spew all over anyone pretending to care.
