They actually read resumes rather than using a GREP utility searching for keywords. They also engaged in \u201ccreative writing\u201d when they were low on placement quota. Of course this required that pimps be fluent in the native language of the country where they made money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, most pimps are too lazy to even use a GREP utility. They go to on-line resume databases and let a search engine there find keywords. Most of them have some form of spider utility which goes to the N on-line resume databases they have subscribed to and returns the results to them in an email or some other document. Some have upgraded their spider utility so it automatically sends email to the matching candidates. Just a generic SPAM with which imports a text file of the job requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autospam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of them actually have a template which includes a phrase much like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Please ensure the resume matches the opening exactly with the skills requirements highlighted at the very top<\/p>\n<cite>Actual template text<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s pimps not only don&#8217;t speak the native language, they don&#8217;t even do their own creative writing. They send this SPAM out to force the candidate into committing wire fraud rather than the pimp committing it themselves. I guess enough of them have finally went to prison for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pimps in the old days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember how it used to work with pimps? They actually had someone who was technical talk to you on the phone to see if you had actually worked with the technology or just read a few buzzwords and added them to your resume. Today pimps don&#8217;t even bother keeping technical people around a the office. It&#8217;s not the client demanding skills certification tests, it&#8217;s the pimp.
