I had a phone interview scheduled yesterday. Recruiter never called. I sent an email fifteen minutes later, asking if we were still on.

After 45 minutes, I sent an email saying hey don’t know what happened, hope everything’s okay, and said let me know if you’d like to reschedule. Still nothing after 24 hours Why does this shit happen?

Because the first time they bothered to look at your resume was when they got the calendar notification 10 minutes before and realized you didn’t have packaged goods experience.

I've only seen this behavior from recruiter firms. Rarely in-house.

Been there. It’s the pits

Had a Skype interview set up with the hiring manager. They never showed up. Sent several emails to the recruiter at the time asking if we need to reschedule. Heard nothing sent a follow up the next day, still crickets. That was two weeks ago and I never heard back

Just an update, I ended up reaching out to the head recruiter and explained what happened. She asked for the recruiter’s name, I was reluctant to but did. The head recruiter apologized and said the person I was supposed to interview with would reach out. When she again didn’t, I let the head recruiter know. Eventually interviewed with the head recruiter and they didn’t have any freelance roles at that time. Life is good.
