The recruiter reached out & asked for time slots to discuss the role. We agreed on a time and confirmed it via email. On the day of the call, he called 15 minutes late without sounding apologetic. He started the call with telling me how busy he was with meetings during the day. After that, he didn’t know what to say next so we both sat in silence for 2 minutes. I don’t know what he was thinking but I was thinking, wait do you want me to run this call ? After the awkward silence, I I picked up the conversation and said let me give you a little background about my work. Went over my background in detail. I asked him to tell me about the role. He pulled up the job req and started reading from the job poster like a robot without actually talking about the team or the role. Then he must he realized that it’s not sounding ok so he started skipping lines and ended that torture. At the end, he told me that he wanted to set up an interview for me with the hiring manager and asked for my availability for the same week. I wasn’t ready for this so I told him that I have to look at my calendar to see and if he can email me. He said he will emailed right after the call but of course he disappeared. I wasn’t interested at this point anyway so I left it. Out of curiosity, I messaged him a week later to ask about the update and he told me that the hiring manager went with another candidate. Overall, very unprofessional experience. I had a different image in mind hearing the company’s name thinking the process and people will be very professional and on top of their game.
