Last week I tweaked my resume and reposted online. Monday, I got a "cold call" from a recruiter for a job that's reasonable. Set up a call, spoke to the recruiter, and gave them times I would be available to talk to the client or the next person in the process. No call, no follow up. I reached out again today with email/call.

Not sure if this is a scam or not? Recruiting Co. exists but seems to be more India focused. The company they are hiring for is a KPMG client sub. What do you think?

This is so cute lol. Welcome to the world of 3rd party recruiters. They're useless and ghost regularly.

lol ok thanks. I figured that it might be the case.

What's the name of the firm

It looks like an IT company??

Normal, they have a lot of candidates to sort through, and choose to prioritize their relationship with the hiring manager.

Follow up. Recruiter contacted me to set up a call yesterday... then told me this morning I'm overqualified. I'm laughing through the tears... of more laughter. I think I'll just ignore all of these people in the future.
