I had a recruiter send me an email exactly 5 months ago today claiming "I've placed ten folks with AOL in the past year, and Patch is the most profitable and exciting division especially for the engineers."
First time I've ever had to respond to a recruiter to tell them they were full of shit.
Never EVER trust a recruiter. Years ago I got an email from a recruiter about a job after I submitted my resume. The position was a Novell admin. On my resume, there was NOTHING about Novell.
I was approached by a recruiter with the same line for Patch about 6-8 months ago. Listening to this conference call, I am so glad that I did not take it seriously.
