Oh, looky here—another great opportunity for me from one
of the many contract vendors without whom tech giants like Microsoft, Cisco,
Adobe, Symantec and Google would have to hire and adequately compensate the
people whose labor earns them their amazing profits.
There are several things I find interesting about this
particular come-on.
First of all—yes, of course I’m going to jump at
something that pays two whole dollars above minimum wage, especially for a
client that is clearly so cash-strapped.
Okay, I’m pretty sure Accenture is not the actual client.
I don’t know where Ashutosh, the recruiter, got that company name, but I’m
pretty sure (from a bit of, well, Googling) that the job is at Google, another
corporation that really does need to cut costs everyplace it can.
I especially like that they want this person to “master
policy knowledge” so s/he can “perform a wide variety of application policy
reviews” and “take action on violating apps”. For $17 per hour.
And I wonder where they got the requirement that there be
no bad attitudes? I mean, how many people
have been run through this job and, after seeing what was actually expected,
told them to stuff it? At this end of the pay scale, you tend not to get folks
who have a long-term interest.
Then there’s the recruiter. He lists a New Jersey phone
number, but as is usual with Collabera and its competitors, when you look up
the individual, he’s actually in India.
They use VoIP phones to give the appearance of being in
the US. Because they don’t even want to pay the low end of US recruiter
salaries when they can get the work done for 80% less in India.
Finally, old Ashutosh must be having a hard time filling
the role, for some reason. I got a follow-up reminder about it yesterday.
