I had a recruiter at company reach out asking basic questions and interest for a job and then said when she returned from vacation would set up a zoom call. Today I get a template rejection email. No explanation, no follow up email saying they’ve gone in a different direction even. What the actual eff is that??? This is up there with the rudest I’ve ever been treated during a job interview process. Anyone else have a similar experience? 🤬

Sometimes the req gets cancelled and the req load of a recruiter prohibits them from following up….

I don’t think that’s what happened in this case because it was internal HR at a small nonprofit but I definitely have had this happen with staffing agencies.

Recruiter from 72 and sunny Amsterdam reached out to me once. Spent probably like an hour poking holes in my portfolio and explaining how I wasn’t senior enough to be senior at 72 because they reserved the title for “very special creatives”. I think I abruptly ended the call when I’d reached my limit. Suffice to say I did not hear back.

what a joke.. lol a recruiter doesn’t know didn’t squat about talents. Maybe if a CD said that.. but a recruiter? lol 🤡

Hey Fishies, I'm wondering if anyone could make a recommendation- I'm looking for software that does the following:

I can pre-set a list of x5 questions into this software
I can send recipient a link to the software
Recipient is recorded answering each question in succession (with the option to re-record)
I can access the recordings as a single file to post (with permission of course)

It's similar to video interview software but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
