I applied for a job a week and half a go through a recruitment company. I had a recruiter email me back within hours of me submitting my application for a screen call. This person has constantly reschedule the call, or just simple did not communicate about not calling me. I have been flexible with the rescheduling, but I have now asked for a different recruiter. Still no response. I am at the point of giving up, but I have now been unemployed for 14 months. Should I give up?

It's sad that companies feel they have to use recruiters. Businesses used to use their own HR departments to run the application/interview part of hiring. They would do all the organizing, the first read of all applications, then pass on those applications to the hiring team who would do the interviews. Recruiters are people who sell themselves to companies as "experts" in every field. They'll find you the "best CEO" or "best Radiologist", or "best Stock Room Assistant" - by some miracle they've become experts in EVERYTHING! They tell the boss, "Just sit back, we'll do the leg work, we'll identify the best prospects and schedule them for interviews", so a lot of those bosses will take them up on their offer to do all the time-consuming preliminary work. I fear that a lot of good potential candidates get weeded out of the process before they've even met the company hiring group. Some recruiter felt they didn't have enough related experience, based on their written application alone. Or felt that the candidate did "not fit well" with the Company. I'm not sure how they make that decision based on a paper resume or a single phone interview. People have to be together to make a proper assessment whether or not a certain applicant would "be qualified". You should concentrate on applying to jobs where you will be seen and interviewed directly by a company, through their own HR department.

Thank you for this. I will.

I will suggest you apply to multiple vacancies! Processing via many recruiters are slower than usual from experience. Plus I recently found out that some recruiters can not interpret resumes they are holding, any deviation from standard is problematic- Acronym especially.
