The recruiter (most often third party head hunter) being competent has zero influence on the quality of the vacancy they're trying to fill

Gatekeeping makes you look dumb

Competent and knowledgeable about the position you are trying to fill are two different things and one of them is crucial.

I know nothing about programming other than the names Python and C++ but using any pokemon names other than the original 151 is just mean.

I'm a programmer and I've played a couple of the pokemon games, and I'm still iffy on a few of them.

Pyspark sounds like some kind of electric snake.

I'd be more worried about a recruiter that DID know which were Pokemon...

A. They spend all their time playing Pokemon.

B. They aren't interested in being a recruiter and are trying to get a programming job themselves.
