Where did the professionals go?

by shayhurs . Updated 23 years, 12 months ago

TWICE this week, I have had headhunters call with job positions that have turned into fiascos.

In both cases I was given a very ambiguous description of the position and neither recruiter could tell me much about the company. Okay, annoying but understandable as sometimes thing happen fast.

In the first one a flurry of phone calls on MOnday trying to get information for a Tuesday interview resulted in a voice mail at 8AM Tuesday telling me the position had been filled internally.
The second call came in Tuesday evening and was supposed to be replacing someone in a position that they had for two years who was moving on.

They STILL have not given me solid information on the company and I am supposed to be interviewing this afternoon. I have been told the Account Manager is out sick and their computer system was down most of Wednesday…

In both cases now (I’m about to decline the second one), the recruiter has been totally disorganized.
If I turn down the second interview, she’s already said she has someone else to send in my place.

Anyone else seeing this? What happened to the professionals?

AAARRRGGGHHHHH
