Recruiter from dream agency reached out to me for a job. Could not connect in time before he left the agency. Reached out to his replacement and he won’t respond. It’s been weeks. WTF

Recruiters are simultaneously the best and the worst people on earth. One from the NYtimes reached out to me about 5 months ago saying I’d be a perfect fit. I’ve since sent him about 4 emails asking for more info and he completely disappeared.

I have no advice, I just feel your pain

You’d have better luck reaching out to the original recruiter. They might connect you to their replacement or find you something at the agency they left for. Sorry bud, shitty situation. Good luck

Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.
