Red flags everywhere! Shortly after submitting my online application, I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled an initial interview. So far, so good. The morning of the interview, I was emailed by the recruiter saying he was sick and had to reschedule for a later date. OK, no problem. It happens and I was notified beforehand. We scheduled another interview for the following week. The interview time came and went and he was a no-show. Ten minutes past the interview time, I emailed him and got a cursory reply stating that we'd have to reschedule once again. He offered no reason for the missed call and no apology for not notifying me and wasting my time. MAJOR red flag! We finally had the interview a few days later. It lasted all of 9 minutes, however, it seemed to go fairly well and I was told he would reach out to the Hiring Manager and schedule a second interview. I sent a thank-you note shortly afterwards and that is where all communication ended. I was ghosted despite two emails asking for a reply regarding the job status. It is now 2 weeks after the interview and I have heard nothing. This behavior, which is pervasive among recruiters, is totally disrespectful and unprofessional. If this is how they treat employees, then maybe I dodged a bullet by not working here.

Zwei ausführliche Gespräche wurden geführt, in denen alle Fragen vollständig beantwortet wurden. Die Gesprächspartner nahmen sich viel Zeit, erklärten geduldig alle Details und hinterließen insgesamt einen positiven Eindruck auf mich.
