I had a pretty good source send me a web link and information about a recruiting company that was looking for IT professionals. I sent my resume to the contact recruiter and he sent it to the company. The recruiter informed me that they were very interested in speaking with me in a phone interview. He said that they would call the following week either on Wed. or Thur. afternoon. The company didn't call and on Thur. the recruiter informed me that the company wanted to change it to Fri. afternoon which I said okay. Friday came and went and with no phone call. Monday morning I phoned the recruiter and told him they didn't call for the interview and I wanted to know what was going on. He said that he would check with them. Monday passed and then most of Tuesday passed to with no word. I politely emailed the recruiter and told him to inform them that I was no longer interested. It was very unprofessional of the company to do what they did. I told him I would interview but I wanted a confirmed day and time. I told him had I been invited to an interview onsite and decided to change the date why they wouldn't give me the time of day. So basically I nicely told the recruiter that the company could just shove off.
I know someone else who has been searching for a job and he is finding the same crap being pulled on him too. What is it with these companies today where they have to jerk people around?
I'm hoping Cynthia Shapiro who authored the book titled Corporate Confidential gets her book about hiring published soon. I find the job search process with companies frustrating. I spoke to one HR person at one company about 2 jobs that I sent my resume for and he replied back via email to tell me that they had several candidates for some job position that I didn't even apply for. It makes you wonder what is going on.
