For my own part, I've found that a lot of recruiters operate like used-car salespeople. They don't really know what they're selling or care who they're selling it to. They operate by relying on phone-sales skills and trying to control your information to get you where they can talk about this great chance to get in on the ground floor of this faced-paced mission-driven work environment with great benefits and unlimited PTO. While doing their best to avoid telling you the comp.

I've started refusing to take phonecalls from recruiters who cannot give me JD, comp, and remote-friendliness. This basic stuff seems to scare off about 80% of them.
