Ask HN: “Do's” and “don'ts” for tech recruiters?

I am thinking about a more empathetic, non-odious approach to tech recruiting. For example, subverting the principal-agent problem by hiring empathetic people who are easy to talk to, at a salary, rather than putting on commission. And to this general end I am soliciting everybody's feedback on demeanor.

What do recruiters do that you like?

What do recruiters do that you hate?

Feedback in this format would be great:

Do:

* Tell me salary figure upfront

* Tell me the name of the company

Don't:

* Stop communicating with me once you realize I'm not a good fit
