Are recruiters (headhunters) just glorified gatekeepers?

The worst part about applying for a job is the process of impressing the dumb recruiter so that she sets up your interview. It is funny when a recruiter who has zero technical skills and has not written a single line of code in her life cross questions me about my engineering projects in past organisations.

How can companies change the hiring process so one does not have to deal with these annoying recruiters?

or are dumb recruiters just a necessary evil?

Once I received a call from a recruiter who was asking for "UI at backend" skill. I tried to correct her but she was very adamant and instead said that I may have not heard of the skill because I had only few years of experience in industry 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've never got good profiles from recruiters. Had to do it myself.

Honestly speaking. While speaking to tech folks. I usually do my thorough research with my hiring manager before coming up with any questions....and always try to be well versed and upto date with my knowledge . One of the worst things u can do is ask a ridiculous question to an engineer and make a fool of urself 🫣🫣🫣
