Recruiter Deja Vu Deja Vu
-
Was doing some vanity Googling on DuckDuckGo to see what my Bing ranking without actually Asking Jeeves. On Page 2, there was a post by me on a forum that I didn't remember signing up for. The site claims to be "The world's most trusted job site". Get your red bullshit flags ready, and check out [url="http://www.recruit.com/recruiter/recruiter-deja-vu-tdwtf-forums/"]the forum in question[/url].
I could go on about how they're obviously a scam company. I could point out how horribly the fucked up the HTML when they [url="http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/27232/315424.aspx"]stole it from this thread[/url]. I could point out the plethora of 404 links on their site.
But I just can't get over the fact that, as the a recruiter site that's "World's most trusted job site", they screen-scraped any forums they could find talking about recruiters-- and now have a thread talking about how recruiters are the lying shitscum of the earth.
Good jorb, boys.

I think they're just trying to establish that they have a "community" so they appear more legitimate. I'm sure they don't read or even expect others to read the content; just for them to see, hey, some people who seem to have technical aptitude appear to hang out here, they must have street cred.

The admin author thread is pretty comical (including the one entry complaining about the lack of cookies used by the bot doing the scraping): http://www.recruit.com/author/admin/

That is plain adorable. Time to work out the algorithm behind that.

We need to fill their database with things that insult their site.
