I’ve been noticing a frustrating trend with recruiters lately. I keep getting contacted for jobs that initially seem like they require relocation, but then the recruiters insist that they are actually fully remote. This has happened multiple times, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s just poor job descriptions or if recruiters are being misleading to get candidates interested. For instance, I received a job link that clearly stated a specific location, so I told the recruiter, 'No thank you, I'm not looking to relocate.' To my surprise, they replied, 'But the job is fully remote with 50% travel!' However, the job description didn’t mention anything about being remote. These roles are usually just below my experience and salary expectations, so I don’t pursue them further, but they seem like decent opportunities. I can’t help but think there’s a disconnect somewhere, or maybe companies are struggling to fill these positions and are now considering remote options. It really wouldn’t take much to update the job descriptions to reflect that. Has anyone else experienced similar situations?
