Well that just sounds like that particular recruiter had some operational issues. Although she got you on the phone and got you to agree to a meeting so she was doing something right. At any rate, she should have just used a Calendly link or something. But there are many reasons why introductory phone calls (screens) are very necessary.
- colechristensen 5y agoIn the past I have had this problem often, round after round of handshakes back and forth trying to get availability to schedule brief phone calls despite me saying repeatedly “just call me”. My favorite was when I was contacted by the CEO of a small company asking if I was interested, foisted off on a recruiter who didn’t have time to schedule a call for a week and a half, and then told the position was no longer open.

- jll29 5y agoYes, company recruiters are part of the external face of the company. If they are chaotic - don't sign on. There is, however, one exception to this rule: if recruiting/hiring is outsourced, then one may not interfere too much about the company from recruiters' behavior (there are many corporation where the friendly HR lady next door was replaced by a mailing list in a low cost country).
