I just spent my entire lunch break waiting for a recruiter who never logged on, and I haven't received any follow-up or apology from them either. I'm trying not to take it personally, but it seems really unprofessional. Is it normal for recruiters to skip out on confirmed calls like this?

This is the new HR: All automation & no accountability. If you can’t even show up for a scheduled call, you’re not ‘busy’—you’re just broadcasting that candidates aren’t worth basic courtesy.
This happened to me last week. HR ghosted the first call, sent a rejection before the rescheduled one, and then magically remembered how to dial a phone once I’d already moved on. Wild times. Luckily, I was in an interview with a company that actually showed up with a offer.

It does NOT merely SEEM unprofessional - it IS unprofessional. But I suppose this level of unprofessionalism has become the norm for recruiters and HR these days.

That has happened to me, too.

Today I had a “fantastic” experience. I applied for an entry-level job that was a side step from my previous work and got an interview scheduled. I prepared carefully, including a short explanation of how my background applies even if not directly. When I arrived, they asked for my resume, looked at it briefly, and immediately said “no match,” ending the conversation on the spot, even though I had already applied with that same resume.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
