I had a recruiter reach out to me this week to set up time for a role they were looking to fill. We agreed on a time and I sent in my resume per their request.
Two days later at the agreed time, no call – no update, nothing.
I sent a follow up email asking what happened and to see when we could reschedule and received the following “Hi [18voltbattery] – The client shifted the spec criteria for the role so this one won’t be a match. I’m happy to keep you in mind for other upcoming searches. What types of roles would you like to hear about? – Thanks, [recruiter]”.
No apology for ghosting me and didn’t even acknowledge it. I let them know they were extremely unprofessional and discourteous and that I would be letting the company know – and I proceeded to do that.
Is it to much to be treated with a modicum of respect? Take 15 minutes and let me know it’s not a fit, I made time for the call and spent a good deal of time prepping for the interview and researching the company and industry.
Worst thing is, this recruiter has books on how to recruit. Literally can’t make this stuff up.
