"recruiters that don't know the industry beyond buzzwords. this is frustrating"
I am not even in the Tech Industry (Plastics Manufacturing Engineering), and this is the case. There are maybe... MAYBE... a handful of recruiters that have been in the business, working with my industry long enough to actually know what the heck they are talking about. They are ones that have actually gone to plants, gone on tours, asked questions, and tried to understand the difference between a dryer, a hopper, and a barrel on an injection molding machine. Modern recruiting is as much a numbers game as modern job hunting (for the most part) and it is completely idiotic.
I don't have really any advice, just wanted people to know that it's not just Tech that is seeing what you're seeing. The rest of us career professionals (16 years here) feel your pain and empathize.
Watabou is my go-to for low-prep toolbox apps in gaming. Between that one, and donjon (https://donjon.bin.sh/), and a name generator like https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ , it's basically everything you need for a quick jaunt into the dark with your buddies.
