In the best case scenario, the recruiter called up twenty prospects and said "Quick question -- have you worked with FOOLAND?"

"You mean FOOlang? Yeah, a little."

"And what jobs did you have when you did that?"

"Uh, I learned a little about FOOlang in the job I had from 2010-2012, and then it came up again in the job in 2015."

"Thanks! I think I'll have something for you tomorrow."

And then the recruiter edits "Skills" to include six years of the still-misheard FOOLAND.

Everything else is worse.
