Totally valid. Not being able to answer questions about a company he claims to know well is a red flag. Might be worth asking to speak with someone who's actually been placed there to verify this isn't some kind of elaborate scam.
Thanks for confirming my doubts. I posted this in the accounting bowl, and responders said I was whining, or just wanting to vent. I've seen ads that state "must know [this software]", but this position said nothing.
I wouldn’t sweat so much over not knowing the hours for an accounting firm. The work is cyclical and hours will vary based on that. The software is a mild flag for me. When I was in public we had 5 different softwares used for bookkeeping based on a client’s size and their needs. That level of detail wouldn’t have been shared with a recruiter.
It’s a valid question and something to find out, but it’s still believable that they’ve placed many candidates there, and numerous other places, and don’t recall specific details. Now, if they can’t figure those things out in a timely manner, I would be concerned.
