Reply to comment by 3720-To-One in Apparently the MBTA is having a tough time filling their IT positions to the point they're resorting to using a particular type of 3rd party recruiters located out-of-state to fill them by goldeneye0
I am not sure if you know IT recruiting in general, so here is what is not so good about them, namely the big ones.
- Many of these Indian recruiters horribly underpay and do not even have the option of things like health insurance (major dealbreaker for me) and PTO (annoying as hell).
- Also, there are a number of employers that view being connected to these recruiters as a negative.
- A few of these have been known to just harvest information for recruitment/interview fraud and H-1B fraud. I heard most common form of this is to use the body of a submitted resume, but change the identifying info of that user's resume.

Recruiters don’t pay you, nobody cares who recruits you, the latter maybe I guess. Maybe you’re confusing recruitment and contracting agencies.

I am not sure if you know IT recruiting... recruiters don't pay you. Or employ you. Or anything.

Unless it is a temp agency, which could be the case of the mbta just needs some grunts for a short term project.

Very true. And the layoffs you hear about in the news are sensationalized for clicks.
Meta lays off 12k (whoa scary!) but fail to tell you they over hired this year but more than 12k, so they still grew their staff.
Many layoffs in the news are “right sizing” back to the beginning of 2022 levels.
