For whatever reason, advertising recruiters have decided etiquette isn’t a thing. And we wonder why talent’s flooding to Google and Facebook
We Are Unlimited?
Because that was my experience with them as well.
It is both de rigueur AND wildly unprofessional. Irritates me to no end.
The CEO literally said we need to link up again and talk more then would not return my email to schedule another meeting. Frustrating to no end
Hmmm.. maybe reach out to an internal recruiter you've talked to already? Maybe (giving him/ her the benefit of the doubt) your email is just getting buried, and it would be better to try to go through an admin to get something scheduled. But if you reach out to a recruiter and don't hear back then I would move on to other things.
@SC1 it's not limited to advertising recruiters. It's the majority except the truly exceptional ones.
Always go through the internal recruiter/HR person. Setting it up directly with that said CEO has the same probability of a success as a manned space mission to the Sun. Just circle back to whom set this up and mention the CEOs stated next steps.
Could (and probably does) have nothing to do with you. They could have lost an account, not won the account they were planning to win, had someone transfer to that office in a similar role, had a hiring freeze for whatever reason. Yes, they should have told you. But it may not be something they want to share.
How long has it been??
These things drag the more it goes higher up the chain!
