God complex of executive recruiters 12 years ago

This seems no different from "regular" recruiters. They: a. cannot evaluate candidates properly. b. focus only on placing bodies, appropriately or not. c. use a limited and inaccurate set of criteria to search for a fit (see a.)

The entire recruiting business seems bogus.

Ask HN: How do you archive/cache full-page back-ups of your bookmarks 12 years ago

Automatically? As in periodically update your snapshots? Or scan through bookmarks.html and grab each page?
