Reply to comment by sderby 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 understand hating broker fees, but the employer pays the recruiter fee… so what’s the issue?

I personally had so many bad experiences with recruiters based in India. So many bait and switch postings, not calling when they said they would, calling multiple times in a row at other times when I said that was busy. It got to the point where I just stopped applying to any job if it looked like it was posted by someone based in India

I work for state gov and they got me through a contractor. State pays the contractor a percentage of every one of my paychecks(complete waste of tax money, what is the HR department for then?), and I don't get benefits. With my last contracting company I had to threaten legal pursual and file complaint with AG to light a fire under their ass to give me my paycheck
