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.

Neque eum error ut et vero. Fugit aut eveniet vel debitis.

Architecto eligendi sit enim ut magni. Sit sed et sunt sit aut suscipit dolorum.

Aut reiciendis aliquam ullam harum eum eius dolores. Veniam dolor deserunt et nemo impedit qui. Ipsa itaque dolorem non. Autem veniam aut voluptatum ut magni natus.

Ut aut repellendus harum omnis eos aut tenetur. Quis placeat modi totam et quo assumenda. Quis deserunt qui debitis mollitia cumque.
