I had the most unprofessional, annoying phone call from a recruiter. She sounded young, might have even been new at her job. During the course of the conversation, she kept trying to get me to tell her how much I was making which I replied “I am being paid a wage commensurate with my position.” She would not tell my who the client was, nor what the pay range for the position is either. Asked me no less than 4 or 5 times what I was making on my current contract position as a desktop support tech.
When she realized I was not going to quote a dollar figure, she became rude, cut me off in mid sentence, and said she says I would not be a good fit for the position. I ask all of you out there, about your experiences with recruiters – isn’t it rude, to ask over the phone, with no previous contact how much you are making, or am I being unreasonable?
