There’s just no good way to evaluate recruiters unless the CEO or CCO is paying extremely close attention. So the bad ones tend to hang around forever.

You’d be surprised. I dated a recruiter at a tech company for a bit. When candidates left negative comments on Glassdoor, they’d hear about it from their higher ups. If they knew who the candidate might be, they’d also have to reach out at times to smooth things over.

Seems like a relatively benign thing to fuel such outrage. Would hate to see how you’d react to something even a tick more serious.

I’m guessing Group Director openings are probably pretty rare across the board?

I had a VP directly reach out to me for my resume, said they needed to get back to me with the job description, and said they’d be back in touch to schedule a call with me, and went silent. A month later, they posted an opening for a role three levels below mine…🤔

That’s not that long ago tbh. They could be feeling out the talent market and the need is not urgent.

Severely pissed? Nah

I had a convo with someone from GroupM 4mos after I applied, they said my initial interview was great and they were sorry they did not get back to me sooner but John is no longer with the company…

But I never spoke to “John”, something tells me that person just said we spoke and made up notes

Sounds like us!
