The number one biggest issue I think it that of technical recruiters not having a technical background. It would be like letting a bus driver operate your next airliner. I understand why it would be hard to find someone with a technical background to fulfil a recruitment role; but maybe that's the problem. Technical recruitment, IMO, is an unneeded role.

If I want a role with a organization I seek them out. IF they want me I am not hard to find.

But everyone should do their job. :( I don't think that technical recruiters are just useless. But they definately should have more knowledge about tech stack of your company. And try to learn more (with your help also). They are good for screening just soft skills and basic adequacy.

Otherwise, the employer brand suffers from someone's foolishness. And developers suffer from spam.
