Re: [PLUG] Job Opportunity (Fulltime/Perm): Linux Administrator (Red hat) - Center City Philadelphia (Douglas Muth)

Nope, I didn't realize... *facepalm* I thought it was a direct mail from him. I've been getting hit with a lot of emails from recruiters lately. CRUD! Didn't realize it was the plug list. Sorry all!

My concerns weren't so much about the details of the position as opposed to my qualifications for the position.

I'd be more than happy to talk to you about my experience and knowledge and how it relates to any potential positions you might have. I will be available anytime including all afternoon today. Please feel free to call me at any point at 215-870-6290. If you'd rather I call you just suggest a time.

Thank you for your time

As former developer I have shared some of your sentiments. You want to know all the details to evaluate and say yes/no to without having to talk to a recruiter.

You see the vague post this from recruiters all the time for several reasons.

1. I might have more than one job that matches your skill set/location/seniority than just the one I'm advertising. It's best to have a phone conversation to discuss that. It only takes 5 minutes. If it's not a fit, but I know what your skill set/preferences are, the next time a job comes along that matches I know who to call first. If you just say no to one specific post, I won't know anything about you to follow up with the job you really want.

2. My client information is valuable to me. If I give every detail out in public forum, another recruiter only has to connect a few dots to go poach them from me.

3. Recruiters generally have so many people to contact that it's most efficient to put out a quick invitation out there. Here's the core skill set, are you interested/in the market? Let's have a chat so I can learn more about you.

Thanks,

Andrew,

Thank you for your email, however my experience is as a developer and not as an admin. Please keep me in mind for any such positions though.

Thank you,

Uh... that's... vague.

What kind of company is it?  Startup?  Mid-size?  Fortune 500?  If it's a startup, do they have a revenue stream?  What industry is it?  B2B?  B2C?
 Ecommerce? Consumer goods? Consulting? Medical? Are there other responsibilities that come with the position, such as desktop support?  Are there any additional technical requirements, such as experience with a specific cloud platform or backup solution?  Does the company offer any benefits that differentiate itself from competitors such as 401(k) or the ability to work remotely?

Us engineers aren't all alike.  We're not replaceable cogs that can be just dropped into any position.  Companies may want the right person for a given position, but it also works the other way: we're all looking for the right employer.

I don't mean to pick on the poster specifically, but I see vague job postings like this from recruiters *all the time*.  It is frustrating for us who are looking to change jobs because we get no useful information to make any kind of decision on, and it's frustrating for the client company because they get job applicants that are spread all over the spectrum and have a more difficult time finding someone who is a good fit for the position.

P.S. Feel free to disagree with any or all of what I just wrote.  I'm more than happy to be proven wrong.
