There is a recruiting company that has been messaging me for nearly a year with little to no follow through. I was called for an opportunity late last month. I had a weird feeling this one would not go anywhere. A 2nd recruiter called me with the same opportunity. I informed the recruiter another representative from their firm was supposed to submit my resume. I received an email from the 2nd recruiter stating my resume was rejected.

I applied to the position on my own and I have an interview.

Well congrats on an interview, but how frustrating! I have heard some really awesome stories from people working with recruiters, but obviously there are huge differences between all of them. Makes you wonder what they are even doing there and why bring it up to you at all if there would be no follow through.

Thank you! I completely agree. I'm curious as well.
