Horrible guys working at recruitment agencies! They need to sit at home!

What a horrible job the so-called recruitment are doing – or, are they really doing any ‘job’?

I have been harassed by these persistent and incessant calls from all sorts of fellows who call themselves recruitment agencies…it is indeed harrowing and annoying. Not only it distracts you from your work on hand, it also leads you away from your work….completely breaking the flow of thoughts.

And once you pick up the phone and talk, it is evident that these callers have either no or very little information which is of use. They will not divulge complete details of the job offer or about their ‘client’ to you…for whatever nonsense reason. Their callousness does not end here. Once they fix you up at a place, they will not even provide complete address and phone number related details to you, fail to mention whom to contact making a complete mess. They will also miscommunicate between the candidate and the organization. They will never give correct and complete information about who is coming for interview, what time, fail to give their CV,

Not only this. When you arrive at a place for a job interview, the interviewer has hardly had any time to go through your profile or place a position for you. And here comes the most disgusting part: “Okay tell me about yourself”! [uuugggghhhh]! What a disaster!

What’s worse: “Please carry a copy of your CV” – give me a break! What age are ‘you’ living in my dear recruiter friend? Ufffff!

They are not willing to reveal about their job profile that they are offering, neither discuss their payscale, neither the profile of their company, nothing! They just keep beating the conversation  around the bush and within minutes you are ready to give up and walk straight out the door.

At times, you start to lose your nerves with your interviewer because they are constantly distracted by one of their colleagues poking their head inside, or the buzz of their cell phones, or some silly ‘reminders’ of their work….the last thing they are interested in is – interviewing you! You feel humiliated and want to run away after yelling at your back, ‘I have rejected this job’…

I have done that on more than once occasions….either of the above reasons have pushed me to reject the offer in front of me. Either I say it on their face or I convey to the agency that coordinated with me.
