I had an initial 30 minutes telephone interview with the recruiter, which went very well. The recruiter then advised that she would move me forward to the next stage and arrange a F2F with the hiring manager, and to expect an update within a few days. Having not heard back from the recruiter after waiting for five days, I sent a follow-up email to reaffirm my interest in the role and subsequently asked the recruiter for an update on the f2f interview.
I also called the recuiter twice and left a VM but never got a response back.
I have now decided to retract my application as the recruitment experience was below what I expected from an established organisation such as Discove. Furthermore, the recruiter‘s performance and approach was unprofessional which sadly reflects on the company too.
She is also a reason why so many good recruiters get a bad name!
