Had Javascript on my resume, and the recruiter send me to an interview for a Java programming job...

The other one asked me to take an online test about cryptography algorithms in node js for a prescreening interview, which is something I never even remotely had to deal with in more than 20 years working for multiple e-commerce, health systems, CMS and other services and websites. Also, no Google or any online sources allowed to solve their questions...

I think most recruiters are legitimately stupid.

Most of them certainly have no business recruiting for people in industries they've never worked in and can't really comprehend the requirements for.
