Just to add on. I had bad experiences with ambition and collabera technologies.
ambition: It was friday.This female recruiter told me she will call me back on monday and I waited for her call. She didn't call me back. I waited by my phone. Ask me so much about my motivations, my interest blah blah blah and told me there is a suitable role at bank, nothing.
collabera technologies: Called me last week. Never heard of them before. I didn't find them. They found me. I wonder where they found me. Data mining perhaps. This Indian (nothing against any race) recruiter called me about a role in an MNC. Bad attitude, I accept it.
After we hung up, he sent me a follow up email. Here comes the best part, His salutation was wrong. It was another person's name! He immediately sent another email with my name but he didn't send a new email, instead he sent from the previous email thread with the same header. Another error was, on the email header was the job title, but it was a completely different role from what he told me over the phone!
Never mind, fast forward, tuesday he called me and told me that the client want to have a phone interview with me and he kept calling my phone like it was life and death situation. I mean if someone doesn't pick up your phone after 2 rings you will get it that the person is not convenient to answer the phone (which I was).
He told me is 12pm alright (sounded rush). I told him I can't and my availability was 1.30-3pm. He went on to ask, my availability for the next 2 days and I replied the same. So I waited by my phone over the next 2 days (same time) for the MNC to call me. Nothing.
Their client didn't call me and they didn't even call me or drop me an email to tell me that I wasn't successful or the client couldn't call me! BAD BAD BAD!!!!
what he should've done: 1. should've sent a new email with the correct header. 2. Apologize for the wrote salutation.
This recruiter from name is Manish singh. POOR phone and email manners!
Come'on lah recruiters out there, your clients (companies) are human, we are not meh? Without us, you got pay meh? Candidates are also your clients! Didn't they teach you in headhunting 101?
very nosy, ask too many questions, in the end nothing!
