I’d say it’s a poor reflection of the recruiter, but not the potential job. I have had some terrible experiences with recruiters - often last minute, poor communication, etc - but have pursued the opportunity anyway and ended up with some great jobs. You won’t be working with the recruiter - don’t let it ruin your perception of your potential team!

It's totally bad form. Don't let it deter you from a potentially great opportunity.

If you're interested in the job/agency and have the flexibility to take the call, then I'd say go for it. Annoying, yes, but like others said - it's a reflection of the recruiter, not the agency.

Well I missed the email as it was not on the books yet the morning of. 🙃

Recruiters are unfortunately awful but they don’t really represent the agency. If it’s a place you’re interested in then try and look past it. But if you can’t make it you can’t make it, just be courteous and let them know (even if they don’t show you the same courtesy).

That's funny! Recruiters think creatives are, unfortunately, awful! LOL!

j/k but please don't generalize like this. We're usually doing the best we can with what hiring managers and leadership give us.

Totally stupid. But assume she was busy and get dat muhnee.

Oh, sorry. "They." 🙄 Ima she and have dealt with one male recruiter in 25 years. But if that's what you want to focus on 🤷🏼

Ghost and move on.

Hi Fellow Fishies,

I am reaching out because I was recently contacted to interview for Cigna Provider Engagement Development Program. I wanted to see if I could connect with anyone on here that I can help give a breakdown of what this program entails, day-to-day, and WLB. Any tips on the interview and interview process for anyone working in this position? I would be truly grateful for any help or information that can be provided!

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. 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?
