That's really strange.
I'd suspect some type of scam on the recruiter's part, or at best that he
or his company needs to show some type of activity they're lacking.
This seems like a total waste of time to me unless you're daydreaming about
a new career.
It reminds me of recruiters who contact me with posts that combine analyst,
pm, programmer, and tw. Color me puzzled.
