They say you don't need a union if your collar isn't blue but that is just another lie your boss is telling you.

No one in HR actually takes that poo poo seriously. It's always a "best case scenario". "Must have 3 years experience" means entry level. "Must have 5-8 years experience" means around 3 years, give-or-take. HR don't give a gently caress, the actual manager at the hiring department makes it work. That said, recruiters are important because they can get you around the "algorithm" stage where your resume ends up in the wrong folder. Never pay for a recruiter (also a huge scrub move).

I mean, if you are hilariously overqualified, skip the recruiter and let the computer algorithm decide. Either way you are losing out on some theoretical pay (recruiters do good work, they deserve their commission), likewise, taking a job that is below your qualifications because it matches a bullshit algorithm is also costing you money. The best is to be good enough to be recruited directly by someone at the company or to know someone in management to make it happen.

Every job boils down to having some relevant skills, knowing the right people and social engineering. That's all.
