Recruiter Issue

How unprofessional can a recruiter be?

I've recently met a recruiter by chance and things looked ok in the first meeting. I knew during the first meeting that the recruiter was a noob in the industry so (s)he didn't have any client base.

Over time I have been approached via emails and phone calls with block numbers and I gradually realized (s)he just wanted to leverage me for her own networking and learning purpose since (s)he knew shit about financial markets.

I simply ignored the behavior until I spoke with my ex-boss, learning that (s)he visited my previous employer even though I disapproved such demeanor in the first place. (S)he obviously decided to be sneaky and went on fulfilling the purpose.

I don't mind giving some tips and lectures as long as a recruiter does his/her job well. But this? WTF? Trying to leverage any CV in front of you while you have NOTHING to offer?

What are your thoughts on this?

Tear his(her) fucking head off.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
