Spams me about a job in Silly Valley, despite my clearly-stated residence in the Seattle area and lack of desire to relocate:

Dear David
Our records show that you are an experienced IT professional
with experience relevant to one of our current open position.
Please let us know whether you would wish to evaluate one of the
open positions we have with our customer based out of San Jose,
CA.
Gotta love the mangled English on this one. Evidence that Simplion is a real sleaze outfit who not only offshores their workforce, but does so to the absolute minimum level of education (and salary) they possibly can.

More spam from United Software Group which blissfully ignores my very obviously stated unwillingness to relocate:

Hi David,
We have an urgent requirement for a Technical Lead-Cloud/AWS.
This is a Contract position based in Portland, OR. If you are
interested in this position, please contact me / send your
updated resume.
Comparing this to the other recent bit of spam from a recruiter with this firm, it’s clear the sleaze is organization wide. Note how they both use exactly the same form letter.

OK, last one of these for a while; they’re starting to clutter up this blog. It’s here to show what a sleaze outfit Net2Source is; they’re one of my main offenders. This one is local but it’s sysadmin.

Despite my posted résumé containing a preface stating I am only interested in software development positions and explicitly ruling out systems administration positions, this clown spams me about a sysadmin job. To put the icing on the cake, the job isn’t local, either (that same preface mentions that I am unwilling to relocate).

Good Morning
Greetings!
HI,
Hope you are doing great…
I have an Immediate requirement for the below location with the
required Skill set for one of our Direct client.
If you are comfortable revert back to the mail with updated
resume to discuss further
Mangled grammar and multiple salutations as per the original text I received. Given the name, he’s probably not even stateside.
Note I said “given the name,” not “given the name and grammar”. I’ve met plenty of Indians whose grammar in the English language is as good as any American or Brit. If you go to the All India Radio news site, you’ll find text and audio clips which are representative of how a well-educated Indian uses the English language.
But sleaze outfits like Net2Source are interested in cutting costs to the bone. Why cut costs a lot by hiring a well-educated workforce in India when you can cut them even more by hiring a poorly-educated one?
