Recruiting people / Buying Potatoes

I thought I would be off social media for a month, but something so egregious happened that I had to blog.

Just today a placement consultant called me for a position in a really well known company.  The first question was - Are you interested, no sweat off my back, I said yes, the 2nd question - what is your CTC, to which I responded that it was too early in the day. Then he  said that he  will send me the JD, and asked me to send my CV. Then again the same question " What is my CTC". I felt  that are we buying potatoes ( which also are not equivalent) that the only factor should be previous CTC.

Amazing
