I understand a recruiter needs my resume to send to a client. I get that. However, I had a recruiter ask me, repeatedly for my resume, but was unwilling to give ANY details about the position. I wanted to highlight specific things and remove fluff, if needed, from my resume so I wanted some details. He wouldn’t give any. I asked again. He said that he’s fix it up for the position. I said no, I can do that and I’m a little frustrated with his unwillingness to give any info at all. Next week, a different recruiter asked for my resume without even pretending to have a position, just that they hire for positions in my field.

For more context, I’ve NEVER gotten anywhere with a external recruiter, only internal ones. I try to be helpful, but nothing ever comes from it.

What is it about getting resumes? Is this some metric they have or something else?
