Information Technology call girls have our pimps, and the pimps have been going batshit of late. I get three or four recruiter calls a day; if it's a withheld number, I let it go to message, which tells them I'm free in March and to email me. Half of them leave a hopeful message anyway. These appear to be recruitment cannon fodder, tasked with cold-calling the entire CV pile.
Does a swarm of recruiter calls mean lots of jobs, or hardly any jobs? I'd think hardly any since it's December. (I know one recruiter who reads this journal, I'm sure she can give a conclusive answer.)
