It is unprofessional and discourteous for a corporate recruiter to schedule a 30-minute interview and then fail to attend without notifying the candidate. Waiting on the phone for 15 minutes with no communication, explanation, or follow-up demonstrates a lack of respect for the candidate’s time and effort. Professional courtesy would require at minimum a cancellation notice, rescheduling request, or apology for missing the meeting. Candidates often rearrange work and personal schedules to accommodate interviews, and recruiters should extend the same level of professionalism and consideration they expect from applicants. A review of this behavior and recruiting practices is warranted, as this type of conduct can negatively impact the company’s reputation and result in the loss of highly qualified candidates who expect professional and respectful communication throughout the hiring process.
