This agency recruiter is supposed to schedule my next round of interviews. She asked for my availability for a specific day then when I responded, she never confirmed. Just MIA. Should I keep trying?

Sounds about right.

Was supposed to say "seems" but you got it

@cw2 - that’s exactly what I’m worried will happen.
I’m sorry you didn’t get that job, and maybe this recruiter will cause me to lose out on this one. Maybe we should think about it this way - If the agency’s recruiter is this incompetent then maybe the team is just as disorganized and would be terrible to work with. I know, that doesn’t help much, but thinking about it with wine might.

OP: any response yet? I’m stressing for you, if that makes you feel any better

@recruiter 1 - you are seriously awesome! Nothing yet, but I will keep you posted. Thank you for sharing the stress!

OP: I know as a PM this chaos must be driving you nuts!

Is your interview really for today? And they just got back to you?

Full transparency: I’ve done this before when I was working way beyond normal human capacity, but I was super honest to everyone and rescheduled the interview to give my candidate enough time to prepare. We’re all human and mistakes happen, but there’s no excuse for being dishonest about it and potentially causing someone to lose out on a job or not be fully prepared.

OP: funny thing - I just got sort of scolded in another bowl/post for commenting too much lately. So there’s that

Thanks OP. I truly appreciate that

Thanks ACD1 ❤️

In the same boat, OP. I don’t know if they’re making decisions or if it’s the beginning of being ghosted 🙄 Good luck to you, hope you make it!

ACD1 when did you last hear from the recruiter/agency?

Met with the CCO last Wednesday. Followed up with the recruiter the day after, she said she was going to catch up with him hopefully Friday.

ACD1 just email the recruiter if you haven't already.

A week with no update is a loooong time. I get it, things get busy and it can be easy to not get back to someone. I typically tell people in the process that if you don’t hear back from me by (blank date) then hit me up for an update

Since recruiters are not very honest, at least in LA, I think you are justified in telling them you are giving them a courtesy call because you're about to take an offer somewhere else. If you're about to walk away anyway it's smart poker and just deserts for the recruiter. (single s in deserts intentional)

I guess there’s an answer in no answers.

ACD1 - no response from the recruiter?

Nope.

@ACD 1-you’re too good for them.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
