So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they're trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

if there's no details, there probably isn't an actual, and specific, job opening. they just want it for their files, or mailing list, or ai, and/or to spam everywhere.
It does feel weird giving so much personal information to a person you just met online
"Please also include your banking details so that we can get direct deposit all set up for you."
In years past, it used to be something they would use their software for and pair up keywords with jobs. Also quite a few get paid by how many candidates they bring to the table.
Nowadays they are probably mining your resume for AI, seeing what businesses you worked for and mining the data to learn what their competitors are up to, and/or actually getting you setup for jobs.
I don’t have a huge amount of respect for recruiters having been involved with them on both sides of the hiring process.
It often feels like they treat it like a numbers game - minimise effort by just throwing enough resumes at a job and hoping one will stick and then earn an easy cut. That will earn them more than seriously trying to match candidates with jobs.
Just another example of a job that produces or provides nothing of value, injecting themselves as unnecessary middle men to make a commission off something that should be a public service. Parasites.

often yes, they need to bring a number of candidates to the company that they are working for to get paid. So having your resume lets them stuff open jobs with "valid" candidates.
Umm, to use your resume to train AI?
This would be the least efficient way to get resumes, maybe ever. Literally posting fake jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn would be several thousand times faster
Also they make up bullshit and put it on the resume giving you a bad name with a bunch of employers. I only give them PDFs if I'm interested
A recruiter friend of mine told me that if I don't want to ignore them, to give them the pdf version of my LinkedIn profile since that's already public information.
