Sleazy Recruiter: Srikanth Gampa of Net2Source

Published at 10:22 on 9 September 2015

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?
