Hate it when recruiters tease an exciting opportunity but refuse to say over LinkedIn what the company or role is... “Must set up a call for confidentiality reasons.”

Such nonsense. In my experience 90% of the time it is a waste of time. Now that I'm further along in my career, I'm pretty blunt. It would be great to connect, but can you please share the job posting so I can assess whether this is an opportunity that it makes sense for us to further connect on.

They are protecting themselves. You would probably not be surprised at the number of people who cut the recruiter out and try to go direct

In many cases the recruiter works for a separate company so the end client is also the recruiters client. Both recruiter and end client may not want it broadcast widely that a position is open.

I understand not putting in a job posting or blasting it out to all potential candidates, but what decent company expects to recruit top talent if the company name can't be disclosed after the recruiter initiates contact and the prospective person expresses potential interest?

I love it when they won't tell you who the company is, but they say something like "it's a fortune 500 sports apparel company near Portland, OR." I wonder who that could be??

funny

Not disclosing the client by email is understandable but not providing a job description is a red flag.

Could be replacing someone who is still in the role, doesn't want you to reach out directly and work around them, or they are supporting an initiative that is confidential (RIF, moving headquarters, M&A activity, etc.).

In my exp McKinsey recruiters are the most secretive. Wouldn’t tell me the firm until I signed an NDA!

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
