Their recruitment is quite annoying. I never sent in anything and they sent me emails saying thanks for applying and to fill in a slot on the calendar for when I could meet. Their approach to the process immediately turned me off.

Perhaps I'm not understanding correctly. You didn't send a resume yet you were scheduled for an interview anyway? That doesn't make a terrible amount of sense.

  I suppose I can show the emails: > Hi Dmitri, > > Thanks for applying to Counsyl back in August. At the time we didn't > have any openings in engineering but now we do. > > We'd like to schedule you for an initial phone interview with Rishi > Kacker, VP of Engineering, to learn more about your interests and how > you may fit in at Counsyl. > > Please book an appointment here: http://bit.ly/Rishi_appointments http://bit.ly/Rishi_appointments > > Enter in your full name in the "What" section and the best number to > reach you in the "Where" section of the appointment slot. > > Email me once you've finished booking your appointment so that I can > confirm that it went through. I responded saying -- hey this is spamming me and is kind of disrespectful/underhanded approach to recruiting and they said: Hi Dmitri, This is definitely an error on our part. I'm sorry for the annoyance. It looks like your name was pulled up as an exceptional candidate back in August (likely from a HackerNews thread). You should have only been contacted to check for interest, but unfortunately, you were sent a stock email (as if you had previously applied). See the attached linkedin profile PDF from August. I'm sorry again for this clerical error. I'll look further into the root cause and hopefully we can prevent this type of error in the future. I'd be happy to take a call if you have further concerns. EDIT: On the linkedin profile they mentioned and sent via screen shot, it explicitly says no recruiters.
