Dealing with recruiters is as nice as dealing with faecal matter. You'd better flush as soon as possible.
Why Recruiters Are Universally Hated
On 14. January 2013 I was invited for a job interview in London by Mr Ethan James of recruiting company
TestDriven IT Group on behalf of his client, a start-up looking for Ruby on Rails developer. Mr Ethan
James proposed I should fly with a low cost jet to get full reimbursement on my tickets. Hower I prefer
rail and sea transport to air travel beacause of their smaller environmental footprint so we agreed that
TestDriven IT Group will cover only half of my travel costs. The interview went well, I wasn’t hired so
I traveled back to my home country through the snow covered Europe, sent a scan of the tickets to the
recruiters upon my arrival and waited for the reimbursement to come.
