I got swarmed again and it got a off-shore recruiter to admit that They only have about 40 resources to contact.
ACf2, RACF, zSecure, TSS and VRA resources are less than 20 Regards, Steve Beaver [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Thompson Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2025 7:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: US Based zOS Systems Programmers Tom: I understand your feelings. But walk a mile in my shoes. Or is Steve Beaver's shoes. I have had a contractor working with me, who had not realized that he had two recruiters that he was going through to work on the project that I was on. And he was having to wait 60 days to get paid. Then was the recruiting company pretending to be the primary contractor, and said to us that if we wanted paid in 30 days we needed to give up 2% of our invoice. That was when we decided to drop that contract before we signed. That brings up yet another problem. They want to do everything minimalist including using emails.... But they don't have the budget for electronic signatures..... Just walk a mile in our shoes. I have others that I worked with at IRS (just a short 2 months ago) that I am having to explain to them how these recruiters work. How to spot the scammers. Maybe only a quarter of a mile will get you to understand.
