I have found that most recruiters are very lackadaisical when it comes to keeping the candidate posted as to the status of their application for employment or contract work.
In all my years I have always found that they will continue to hound you and track you down on the phone when THEY need information or a response from YOU. But when it comes down to a simple courtesy call to keep YOU posted with info like "The manager is out this week", or "They just instituted a hiring freeze", or "We found a better candidate", these agents/recruiters just WONT pick up the phone to keep the candidate posted. |

I have undergone a similar situation. In fact, I went to Greystone Staffing in Long Island and spent hours and money going there from NYC. I meet this extremely giggly woman, who asks questions and when its my turn, tells me that she does not know much about the position. So after I fill many forms I have to leave. Anyways, she gets back to me only after I call to follow up on a position. After 2 months, she calls me and tells me about an internship that pays terribly, and when I ask about the company, doesn't tell me the name. And she kept giggling. Anyway, she hasn't called me back. And she actually had the nerve to tell me that I should contact her if I find something. No way! I have had similar experiences, and whenever a recruiter calls me, if they want me over to just fill forms, I refuse, and they feel offended. I honestly think that they are extremely useless.
