Terminate the call, ghost the recruiter, tell my network

likesmart

Doesn’t zoom say you’re being recorded when you join? Plus the red record button displays top left. I interviewed and the recruiter set it up so all interviews were recorded. The HR (not recruiter) who I interviewed with also commented on it being weird.

like

Just ask to double confirm it. And if so tell the interviewer you don’t think there was any info prior to call about recording it. And then you can terminate the call and complain their HR dept. and compliance. Nothing wrong in double checking it.

If they didn't tell me what they were doing, I'd assume the corporate culture was horrible and would not want to work there. If they did tell me, I'd want a specific explanation - "Bob, who's on the hiring team, can't sit in on this because he's got a conflict, so we're taping it so we can can show it to him and he can weigh in." I don't like the idea of someone just taping me because they can. It's a job interview... not an audition for film and television.

like

Even if they can't make the meeting - if they can't make time to interview me then I don't think the firm values its employees enough for me to want to work there

It’s not a good look but NY is a one party consent rule so technically they’re allowed

OP asked in the NYC column so I referred to NY law. You’re right that it’s state specific and potentially illegal depending on the specific facts, but less right that “most states are 2 party”. Most states (roughly 38) follow the 1 party consent rule.

Very negative signaling about the firm, its leadership, and its values. Probably an indicator that my employment wouldn’t last long there.

As for how I’d react: I’d stick around if i was desperate or underqualified.

If I had other options or already happily employed, I’d tell them to fuck right off.

Hopefully OP isn’t the culprit! Hah

I probably would just realize they’re trying to have it for reference and not care. In the world of social media and cancel culture, you should operate as if everything you say is recorded anyway.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

I have applied to several positions up Google. I have not heard anything back at all. No matter if I customize my résumé to the job description I still don’t hear anything back.

Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?
