Thanks for the comment! I think a lot of job-seekers and contractors share the frustration with inadequate (and sometimes nonsensical) job descriptions. But I have to say, I’ve also heard a fair amount of frustration from recruiters. In many cases they would love to get better information and just can’t.

It seems as if there are many points of failure in the system, which means there can’t be just one point of solution–but at least everyone involved could try a little harder.

It’s like when you find a job description for a programmer that include requirements like photoshop and 3DMax. Anyone with a bit of idea would know the description is mixing 3 different roles, but the person writing the description doesn’t. And the recruiting agency? Seriously, they barely do anything but copy&paate and maybe add some more neaninless buZzwords here & there.
