Disclosure: I am not a Very Important Programmer. Second Disclosure: I am not on top. Were either of these different, I might feel differently than I do. Some people do prefer email to the phone. I have no problem with a recruiter offering

This is the truest of all true things that are true. Totally a first-world problem. I share feedback with recruiters because I want feedback as an engineer. If they choose to ignore it... well, I'll have to find some way to deal with p

I'll start forwarding you all my recruiter emails! :)

Every interview I take, if I don't get offered the job, I ask for feedback on what I should have done in my past to take the job. Why did I fail? What should I be working on? This post is that answer for recruiters. I've typed it

I'd say kind honest feedback. If I'm being unkind in my feedback, I would love to tweak it to be kinder.

How uppity of me, to let my desire to work in a job I like get in the way of a recruiter's money. I am thoroughly cowed. I've seen the error of my ways. Thank you.

So... what you're telling me is you're tired of being offered posts on my blog and I could be using more effective methods? O:)

It's as easy to figure out I have a boyfriend as it is to figure out what I look for in a company. Or what my preferred stack is. I'm not really subtle about it. But I'll give you that one; it's possible to get a good pi

And oh, man you should see the amount of junk mail and spam I get too! Be jealous of how frequently telemarketers call me! You nailed it, ace.

I'm not sure I see the incentive in me doing that...? Unless, of course, I hate dealing with them. In which case I'm not going to get hired through them in the first place. Why would I do that?

I'm sorry you don't consider it friendly. Personally, telling them why their pitch didn't work felt friendlier than just assuming they had no interest in improving and ignoring them, which is the other tenable option. It woul

Totally! I've had some great recruiters reach out to me. I've gotten bad pitches that were actually personalized, too. But I've also gotten the shotgun. Obviously, no hope for the shotgun. I hold out hope for the bad pitches.

We can all go home, you've won the thread.

by paddyforan 13y ago
Oh, I know. I expect to have to send it to each of them, manually, in response to bad pitches. And I expect 99.99999% will ignore it. But if, in my entire career, I can help one recruiter suck less, it was all worth it. I guess I'm jus

I know, but I remain hopeful. And if I don't tell people how they failed, how will they improve? Writing this just put it in a convenient place so I can link to it instead of repeating myself every time.

I can't speak for other providers, but our practice is to let users set the number of retries they'd like and the space between retries. We also are close to rolling out error queues, so when a push notification fails, the message

John Sheehan, of Runscope.com (which, by the way, is a super rad tool for API developers) did a great roundup on receiving webhooks for testing: http://john-sheehan.com/blog/a-survey-of-the-localhost-proxy...

That's why logs from the webhook provider are important. :)

I'm incredibly excited about them. As far as I'm concerned, webhooks and callback requests are the same. If we were going to get pedantic, I suppose we could say that for a request to be a callback, it would have to be a response

Great question! For Iron.io, all our requests are authenticated using an OAuth token. So only people that know your OAuth token (and thus could use our API anyways) can use your webhook endpoints. But there are other ways, too. The most com

I love this idea. I've been wanting to do something similar to this, making webhooks even easier to hook into the Iron.io platform. I don't know if it will make it into HUD, but I'm definitely going to be trying to setup some
