I want recruiters to help sell me. My professional experience is pretty odd. I started out as a copywriter then joined the development community. I've worked as a web developer, then worked on games for awhile, then came back to web. And in my personal life I contribute to robotics tools and other fun projects. So I need someone who can kind of cut through all the chaos that is my experience. What I don't need is someone who wants to shove me into some Senior Java role at a huge company, despite my lack of any Java experience and experience in general (relative to a senior dev).
But by far the BIGGEST thing I don't need, recruiters who ghost me. I've had several that were supposed to be coordinating an interview within the next, but then never get back me, regardless of whether I follow up. It's a huge waste of time and doesn't make anyone feel good.
