I received an email asking for me to schedule time with a recruiter to discuss the position. The next slot available was 3 business days so I went ahead and booked. When it came time for the recruiter to call me, she never called or emailed to say she was running late. I emailed to make sure we were still on for our scheduled time and never received an update. One of my connections reached out to the recruiting manager to find out what was going on. He was told that I would hear back from the recruiter by the end of business that day. Not only did I not hear back from the recruiter that day, I had to follow up with her the following day. Once she replied, I was told that they already had a candidate in the final offer phase. Bandwidth recruiting should be more professional and work on their communication. Respect a candidates time as we take time out of our schedules to go through the process.
