The worst example I saw was a contract gig with Apple. Recruiters hit me up for months because it required not only senior level Drupal architecture experience (with Drupal 9, which was just released last month), but senior level technical writing chops. After lockdowns, they expect the contractor to relocate to the Bay Area. And they're only willing to pay at least $40k less than EITHER a Drupal architect OR a senior technical writer (let alone both) could net, in a market that doesn't have an insanely high cost of living, in a salaried full time position rather than a contract that could be yanked at any time (which you would expect to pay even more because of the lack of security).
Each time I wasted my time hearing them out, I laughed at them for the rate.
