I don't know about the "desperate" part - I don't think there are a lot of
ex-DBAs here standing in soup lines. However, the impression is that each
of them called every potential candidate they knew immediately, trying to
get a lock on any potential commission. Like I said, four of them I had
never heard of before this. Most likely those particular recruiters got my
name from calling professional aquaintances. It was the sheer volume of
calls in such a short time about a single opening that struck me as
unusual... Like they didn't have anything else going on.
