We received a resume from someone with "Pearl" experience. It turns out that his recruitment agency thought it would be useful to correct his misspellings ...
"Pearl" experience

And here I was expecting that they were sending you candidates with jewelry and clam experience.
It could be worse...

I once saw a job description that involved "Peril" programming. "I can't, it's too perilous!"

Recruitment agents will be first against the wall! Though there may be a long line of other agents in the queue with them...

Are you sure it wasn't really
PEARL?
....recruiters
i recently hopped back into the 'find a job game'. updated my resume on dice.com -- within hours my email was litterally spammed with all sorts of various "opportunities". funny thing, almost half of them were caught by gmail's spam filter.
being a 24 year old, i was extremely delighted to be offered so many Sr and technical lead positions. Apparently, my 1.5 years of experience was qualifying me for the said positions.
sad but true -- most "recruiters" are merely running search bots on moster/dice/ and using mass mailers. low-tech script kiddies imo.
