Maybe you guys don't know, but there's something like pay per call. Someone explained it to me... It didn't make sense ... And it still doesn't.

So this is how it works: You sign up, you make calls and you'll be paid for how long you spend per call.

Developers are a nice target because, if given the chance, we'll talk and talk about our skill.

Some of these people that annoying calls aren't recruiters per se. They don't even know what they're talking about. They just did little research so they could get the conversation going.

Trust me, it makes no sense... But they get paid.

Having worked for and with Multiple staffing agencies, and now in house, I promise you this isn’t typical at all. I’ve never heard of this and I’ve been in the business of Recruitment for quite some time in the Bay Area and New York City where there’s a lot of recruitment going on.
