My name is Kevin, and I’d like to tell you a story about an easy way I stopped recruiter spam.
I am a Front End Developer, I have a good job, a...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Well, this is certainly more constructive than my approach of trolling annoying recruiters with nonsense questions...
"3" makes me think of hammering a nail into particle board.
"4" makes me want to write sarcastic error messages for missing an API endpoint.
"5" makes me think of Cookie Monster in a developer role.
Underrated comment
Nice, JS is indeed at demand.
But I see jobs proposals on Facebook? Thats so wrong on many levels 🙄
That's not wrong, that's desperate.
I would make a bot to report all their messages as inappropriate and spam, just to be sure :))
The funny thing is that the recruiters also use bots, or at least send pre-defined templates to a mailing list that consists of nothing but email addresses with an array of skills.
I bet less than half of all addressees never respond.
So it's only fair. Plus telling them you've written a bot to handle recruitment inquiries is good advertising for yourself as well.
Bots talking to bots! What a world!
It's a pretty good idea when you think about it. Right now google duplex is able to make appointments for you by calling various businesses. That's great, but it would be even better once businesses have their own bot that can answer the phone and write down reservations.
Up until now, if we want to do that kind of thing we use an API. It works but there's one huge caveat : each service needs to be specifically developped to use the API of other services it wants to talk to... With chatbots talking to each other "English" becomes a universal API that can be used by any service.
OMG
This is simply awesome!
Do not sell yourself short on years of experience,. If you have the qualified skills, GO FOR IT. I have done a lot of technical interviews, and the years of experience speaks more to your intuition on problem solving in a business environment. Concrete examples where you demonstrate your knowledge or problem solving capabilities is sufficient for most technical positions.
Oh wow! Thanks for this and the Reply.id recommendation. Will try them out for LinkedIn since I'm not on Facebook, and I get bombarded with LinkedIn messages daily.
this is simply genial. i stopped using facebook a while ago and i don´t know if i was ever contacted by recruiters with it but with Linkedin and Email it´s become really annoying. Especially when you explicitly tell them you kindly and firmly are not interested at the moment and they start nagging you to just have a quick chat ( which is never under 30 minutes long really) just in case i change my mind or so that they have a clear picture for the future...
At first, i thought you used your bot pretending it was you, but then i was surprised to know that you clearly stated it was a bot and they accepted in going on with the conversation. awesome.
Will definitely have a look at reply.id. thanx
This is great lol
Bravo! Love it! Today, I found out that Facebook is used by recruiters too . Good thing mine is private and not searchable hehe
Kevin, a LinkedIn bot is needed too ;)
Serious question: did you open a facebook page for that matter? It seems like chatfuel does not support personal fb accounts (sry if that is a basic question, no experience with bots 😉)
yeah! i did
Hi Kevin, that is very interesting. Are you willing to let us juniors have a peek at your bot in chatfuel?
You can monetize this, Kevin!
