Recruiter gets in touch through LinkedIn, says he checked my profile and has a perfect match job. Asks to book a call. He calls me, talks about the job, I say I am interested. I send my CV, he says he has a call with them the same day, he will introduce me and will get in touch right after. He doesn't get back to me. I follow up after a few days.He never replies.
I'm wondering:
If you are not interested, why are you wasting my time? At least reply to me and be respectful.
Any similar stories?

I think Graphic Designer 1 is spot on. I had that happen once, was reached out to, was very interested in the job, responded probably within a couple hours of receiving the message. Heard nothing back, probably reached out a couple more times over the next couple weeks, again nothing. Decided to let it go. Flash forward a month later, he calls me back, claiming he was out of town. A couple red flags there, 1 you were out of town for a month which is a long time, 2 if you are going to be out of town maybe don’t reach out to people like that, and 3 if you are out of town everything comes to a standstill, no one covers for you? Yeah this didn’t pass the smell test, I said I was no longer interested, he tried to get me to change my mind. Nope, sorry. Was unemployed at the time but this was clearly something I didn’t want to get involved with.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
