I'm being nice to a recruiter. Whey, hey! Crack open the Champers. Pogo on the dance floor... etc.
I'm having lunch with him on Friday. Someone who wants to make the effort to get to know my business history a bit better and wants to proactively 'market me' to their clients (his words not mine, see last para).
I'm reserving judgement about what to expect. I'm sure it'll turn into a liquid lunch and when I loosen up a bit after a glass of wine or two, he'll grill me about what companies I've worked at who my PMs were and so on. Perhaps not.
The meeting is only an hour long, so I'll avoid bringing up the subject about the recruitment industry sales model and how I disapprove of it. Otherwise, he'll be there all afternoon and possibly the next day as well and he'll return to the office with throbbing ears.
