Why does it seem that recruiters are all talk no action? |

I am sick and tired of taking time to go see recruiters and they talk all this talk and when it comes right down to it, they don't actually follow through.
I would say about 99% of the recruiters that call me to come in for an interview with them (for a possible position)have you come in, fill out papers, take computer tests that take hours and then hand you their business card and say that they will call you on Wednesday. Wednesday comes and goes and you don't hear from them at all, so you call them and they say they have nothing for you. You keep calling them and nothing. You think that maybe they don't actually have a position lined up but then you see them advertising for a position like one you just interviewed with them for on the NY Times.
Why did they have me come in in the first place? I hesitate now to even schedule an appointment with a recruiter because I feel like they waste your time. |

Wow, this is so similar to my experience. I have stopped going to these people because it is just a waste of time. Each time, I have to spend a lot of time taking those moronic computer tests and filling out applications, and then they go and bother all my references, and then nothing happens. I am concerned that my references may be getting sick of these repetitive calls. I am mystified as to what process these people use to match people with jobs; there have been several occasions when I, too, noted that recruiters were advertising positions in the paper when they had an abundance of candidates already available to them who seemed clearly qualified and probably would have been willing to do the work.
