A recruiter at a company I applied to back in December has rescheduled my phone screening with her 4 times over the past 6 weeks. Each time she has emailed me an hour before my interview informing me that’s she’s actually OOO then schedules me a week out. This last time, 2 weeks out… at this point would y’all just say forget it? Maybe I’m trippin but this feels like a red flag. 🧐

This says a lot about the company and the role…the role is not a priority to fill, the company has other priorities and is not clear of their resourcing needs, and they run lean AF (obvi cuz there is only one recruiter vs that recruiter send you to their peer and get you interviewed). RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN!

She’s playing games. I would go a head and let this ride because it’s not going anywhere

Move on…. the role has probably been deprioritized because of funding and/or timing to bring someone on board isn’t urgent.

You don’t need to chase a job … they should be chasing you.

I think they are wasting time. The job probably is in limbo. I wouldn’t engage further

That seems excessive. Do you want to work for a disorganized company that reschedules at the last minute?

Just for a phone screen with HR? This seems like a huge red flag. 4 reschedules in any amount of time is beyond excessive.

Yes phone screen! She just emailed me today informing me they made a offer to another candidate who was further in the interview stages. 🤦🏾‍♀️

UPDATE: thanks for the replies everyone. I had another interview with said recruiter and received this email from her before our schedule time. I hate people 🤦🏾‍♀️

“Hope this note finds you well. I want to be transparent that we had to make the difficult decision to move forward with an offer for a candidate who was at very late stages and aligned with what our current needs are.”

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
