New & Improved Recruiter Spamming Method: SMS/Text

This is so fishy it borders on scam, nevermind I am not qualified to do an Office Manager job:

Hi My Name! Are you interested in exploring Office Manager opportunity at Spectrafɵrce Technologies Inc? Please reply YES if you consent, NO for not interested (or) STOP if you do not want to receive texts about Spectrafɵrce Technologies Inc Job opportunities

Have I mentioned this is an offshored agency and probably a home for H1-Bs?

The Lifecycle of a Silicon Valley H1-B

Look what landed in my Inbox! AFAIK $40/h violates the terms of the H1-B visa [$70k salary is way worse as the statutory floor is $90k] but who else would accept $40/h in the Valley?

A New Gem from Offshored Agencies

I've seen many things in my time but this takes the biscuit:

Client : TCŠ/TIAA
QA Mobile Lead
Location : Iselin, NJ
Rate : Best Minimum in Market

Best Minimum in Market must be a new econo-mathematical concept which most people can not able to comprehend, do not have a defination for and are not comfortable with the requirement.

Mind you TCŠ is an in-famous employer with luxuriant benefits so no surprises here however, H1-B visa conditions stipulate a minimum salary of $90k/year which works to $45/h.

But I have seen H1-B specials at $40/h.

P.S. Another gem caught my eye... is this even legal?

Only H1B and H4EAD
Must be 10+ years IT experience

Most Useless Job Board?

Of the majors when it comes to applying for jobs:

1. I might have hooked a job on mônster.{ca,com}
2. I have hooked a job on mônster.at
3. Nada on dïce.com.
4. LïnkedIn nada con niente.
5. I did clinch a job on apec.fr but that was in France and I took a 55% pay cut for the privilege.

Of the majors' "private email" channels of communication:

1. mônster.{ca,com}: mostly offshored pukes trying to land me on "H1-B minimum wage" (aka. $45/h) in the Bay area.
2. LïnkedIn: got some calls from bona-fide ones.

On the recruiter's side: my recruitress buddy prefers LïnkedIn (as she has a recruiter's account).

Historically Canada's Workopolïs declined into a recruitors' hangout and now is just a cesspit.

Ïndeed & somesuch are basically just Resume fishing holes for who-knows-what purpose.

So to me of the majors Dïce takes the cookie. Its only use nowadays is to monitor in real time recruitors' feeding frenzies, and it's mostly t he bottomfeeding agencies.

Dumbest Job Board Ad?

I keet getting this useless job ad (for a month!) as a Dïce job alert:

Drilling down in the actual Dïce job ad I see this gem from an offshored agency which in characteristic fashion keeps boasting about "awards" and "recognitions" nevermind that wrecks the job alerts and pisses of candidates:
