    Hell even the old recruiters sometimes don't know jack. All they do is pretty much talk about how good their company and how cool their trucks are.

    Recruiters don't inform through experience, they do it by rote. A driver will always know a company much better than a recruiter. (That's not to bad-mouth recruiters... it's just the way it is.)

    It is the job of the recruiter to NOT know by design.

    Judging by your grammar, I would have to say "no" in your case.

    Mechanical repetition. As in they're told what to say and learn it simply by repeating it over and over.
