I was contacted by a recruiter, saying they found my resume in LinkedIn, asked if I'd be interested in an Inventory Management role. I agreed to speak with them, gave them my availability. 5 minutes later, I received a call and voicemail from a 2nd recruiter saying he will be conducting my interview, please give him a specific day/time to call me, as all my listed days/times were fine with him. I emailed him a response, everything was set.
He was late. I was finally able to send of an inquiring email to check I had the right day/time (which I knew I did, because I had it in worrying) and make sure there wasn't a problem. He called, 16 minutes late by now, very apologetic, said he'd written 11:30 instead of 11. Ok, mistakes happen.
He had very little information about the role; most of what he said was just repeating what the email had said and other filler conversation. I was asked only 3 or 4 questions, but never given the opportunity to ask any in return, which is thoroughly odd in any interview. The one question I was able to ask was in response to a statement he'd made, but he quickly reminded me of a recruiters purpose in the hiring process, that he didn't know anything about the role, that I wouldn't even be able to contact him regarding the role after today, etc. Also very unusual.
The entire "interview" lasted exactly 14 minutes and the call ended exactly at 11:30, despite having started 16 minutes late. The biggest red flag: he asked me what my current salary is at my current place of employment. Not only odd and unethical, but illegal.
Needless to say, I will not deal with this recruitment agency again.
