Looking for advice: how would you frame feedback to a recruiter/hiring manager who offered you a role after a terrible interviewing experience? Disregarding whether you accept the offer or not - is there a way to give feedback or use the situation to your advantage?

There is nothing to be gained for providing recruiter feedback. Take it in stride but I wouldn’t use it as a metric for evaluating an offer.

like

Context: in house recruiter was useless, timeline was communicated but disregarded, no follow up even when the interviewer (hiring manager, leader, team member) said they would follow up, ghosted for a month at a time even when told you’ve have an update within the month.

Don’t ignore the recruiter but ignore D1. Just reject the offer.

“Just reject the offer”

“They can also accept”

Pick a lane.

I agree that no one cares - the recruiter nor the company or team - just looking around to see if anyone’s done anything besides ignoring it...looking for any opportunity / angles in a shitty time consuming experience.

I am a Senior Manager of Software Engineering and lead architect at a small company (was a startup with < 10 employees when I joined, now has > 50). I am the most senior technical person in the company (we don't have a CTO, I report to the COO), even though I only have 4.5 YOE. By God's grace I have been able to succeed in the role, but feel that I am underpaid and would like your input.

I had two recruiters today reschedule a meeting. And this is the second time rescheduling. Honesty, not sure what value recruiters bring. Is this common now? Is it hard to have respect for people’s time and their schedule? Reschedule once I can understand. But twice is just stupidity. I hope AI wipes out all bad recruiters who don’t give af. Sorry for the vent. Maybe it’s just my bad luck then.
