Why are third party recruiters so damn flakey

Twice this week two separate recruiters missed appointments they set up with me, only for them to call me up at random times later with no explanation given.

Do you want to fill your roles and get paid your commissions or not?

All recruiters are like that, that's why I have nothing to do with them. You are your best advocate, and the job alerts that you set up will do the job for you. Many places use LinkedIn, so I suggest that you set up a paid membership, and use Indeed.com. Be realistic with yourself as to what titles apply to your experience, how far of a drive, and what your worth is to be paid. Make sure the information on both accounts are identical, because it will make the interview strange if you have one resume different from your profile. Do yourself a favor and rid yourself of all recruiters.

Most of them are young kids (some are seasoned but not much diff) barely with any meaningful corporate experience that instills skills about responsibility, respect, integrity etc. They're all in there for a paycheck and not much more.

Some are young a lot are experienced and just don't care or know what they are doing. I have heard many say at this point there are so many candidates they cherry pick to make the most them can.

you probably just encountered some unprofessional ones and that happens. so whenever I have ppl contact me I ask for the job description, pay range, and benefit package right away. you could also see how they write in the email.

I have found that they want their commission no matter what. I have been sent jobs I am no where near qualified for and ask to change my resume to make me look qualified.

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
