Couldn't it be a genuine recruiter recruiting for Yahoo?
It could be.
1. However, there is an often mistaken assumption that somebody mailing
from a @yahoo.com domain for an yahoo job is working for yahoo.
Especially when the recruiter here is not mentioning any other identity
(e.g. that they are a third party recruiting firm), many people are
likely to be misled.
2. Recruiters directly contracted by yahoo for openings are supposed to
adhere to certain guidelines while posting to the Open source community.
We have been trying for the past couple of years to ensure that these
folks observe commercial posting rules similar to what ILUGD has.
Unfortunately, they sometimes have ulterior motives to do what they
do(next point), are careless or they simply don't care much for the
sentiments of the Opensource community.
3. We have had several instances in the past where recruiters float
their personal email addresses on behalf of companies they currently
represent, and even after they are no longer representing Yahoo (e.g.
when their contract is over) they keep getting resumes from job seekers
discovering their old post from archives. These resumes are sent with
the faith that they will reach Yahoo, but they do not. I personally
consider that unacceptable.
As long as I find people claiming to solicit resumes on behalf of Yahoo!
and keeping a certain amount of ambiguity about their identity, I will
try to clarify to list members about their possible lack of authenticity.
