Had a zoom call with the recruiter to discuss my background and role. After the call, he sent me a link to have a second interview with one of the hiring managers. I told him the link wasn't working and if he can send me a new one. He went totally ghost on me and hasn't even reached out to let me know what happened. I understand that he has targets to meet and used me as an activity metric. But I could have at least gotten a reply back even to tell me thru were going in a different direction.

First call was with a recruiter that went really well. Standard first round questions around previous quota, hunting vs farming, ect. The person was super personable and nice. Actually made me a bit excited for the position, even though it was a huge pay cut. Had my second interview with the hiring manager and what a joke. First thing he said was that he didn't have any open headcount, but always wants to keep his funnel of talent open... When I asked if he was getting headcount anytime soon, his answer was "Honestly, I hope not. I'm sick of hiring people"... so yeah. Complete and total waste of time. I can understand interviewing when you don't have headcount yet, but are expecting someone to get promoted or leave or whatever. But when you have no openings in sight; to still take a meeting is crazy. This guy had also never been in Saas sales, told me he never really even knew what Saas was before taking this job. To have that as your manager was also a huge red flag for me.
