A recruiter reached out to me about a role that piqued my interest. I did some initial research and the agency appeared solid, though I noted they had gone through a recent acquisition — a minor red flag I decided to overlook.
Communication from the start was minimal. When it came time to speak about the position I had to reach out to him because he was running late, citing other commitments. Based on the conversation it became clear this was likely an overseas operation with a US presence. Details about the interview process and logistics shifted multiple times, which added to my concerns.
When I ultimately interviewed with their client, the recruiter had provided inaccurate information about key aspects of the role. Questions I had specifically asked him beforehand were answered differently by the actual hiring manager — leaving me feeling blindsided in a professional setting. To be fair, the client and the role itself were legitimate. The issue was entirely on the recruiter’s end.
I sent a professional thank you note and heard nothing back — not even an acknowledgment that it had been forwarded. No follow up, no update, no closure of any kind. Complete silence.
I have worked with overseas recruiters before and have consistently regretted it. I believe this falls into that category — a US-facing agency with overseas operations that does not meet the standard of professionalism expected at the executive level roles they are recruiting for. I cannot recommend them.
