Had the most bizarre recruiting experience. I turned down a role with a smaller consulting firm (have to focus on my health for a while so the timing isn't right for me). I explained this to the recruiter and he seemed to understand & even offered to pick up the convo once I was ready (in a few weeks).

A few mins go by and he tells me another recruiter wants a quick 5 mins with me. Weird, I think, since I've turned them down. But sure, call me at 9 am tomorrow.

Lol, done

Instead, the other recruiter books me for a 60 min call with the director of something for 11:30 am tomorrow.

Huh?

I emailed them saying there seems to be some confusion. I turned you down. It won't work. Sorry.

They responded, oh, yes, we know. But we still want to tell you about us ...

Um. What? I've been ghosted before but what is the opposite of ghosting?

funny

No.
