She's a recruiter. That's what.
This happened to me twice this week. Reached out to me to set a date to meet. Ghosted after. Another one set a time to meet but was a no show. With all due respect, we all know you are right in front of your screen all day. So there really is no excuse for this. It’s disrespectful from recruiters on behalf of their agencies and to the people whose time they are wasting. Did you ever find out why that happened? And how often is too often for a follow up?
@saatchi1 It’s like swiping right on Tinder 1000 times to see who matches. And then you respond to the ones you like from there
Don’t take it personally. She might just take a while or found someone else. It happens
She’s playing hard to get obvi
I’ll never understand the shade that gets thrown to recruiters on here. In my experience they are very nice (overworked like the rest of us) people
It just happens. They spend all day throwing hooks into the water and just go with the biggest fish. Can’t take it personally. Someone probably just responded earlier than you, or they filled the role, or they put it on hold for the holiday, etc. Could be a zillion reasons
Sounds like gout.
Lol. That’s what they do. They scrape the entire internet for potential talent then see who replies
She’s a recruiter.
They cast a wide net and throw out all the fish as soon as they catch a shark
Situation utterly normal
Pre-Thanksgiving emergency?
Nothing. Patience. It’s a holiday week
Also, out of curiously. Are you at liberty to mention which agencies this was? I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the same agency.
@Grey don’t know she sent me a message this afternoon and asked if we could chat today I replied yes and then she goes silent.
Name names
It’s a holiday week... that’s probably why.
She found someone better
It’s their job to line you up but sometimes their brief falls through
