This is my first entry on Glassdoor, since this was my worst recruitment experience ever.
The recruiter first contacted me on Feb 2nd evening to agree time for a short call. I replied the next day with my availability. Because I haven't heard back from the recruiter, I asked on Feb 7th evening if they are still interested in me. The recruiter finally replied on Feb 8th at 11:42 PM (= midnight) and suggested call next day in the morning. Of course I couldn't confirm it back on such a short notice, but the recruiter called me anyway (I wasn't able to pick up). Then we finally agreed a time for the first phone interview.
The interview was 10 - 15 minutes late for the phone interview. Basic stuff, we agreed that I will speak with the Hiring manager and his recruiting colleague will contact me to agree date/time. This never happened. I tried to contact the recruiter, but as expected, didn't get a reply. I found an email for the Hiring manager and contacted her directly. After that I got a message from the recruiter saying that they already found the right candidate and they will not need me anymore. So absolutely no Fs given about the other candidates.
My whole experience with the recruiter was very bad and his treatment was very unprofessional, not respecting other people's time at all. This makes me wonder whether it's a norm in the company, or at least in its Czech office. There are several other entries on Glassdoor complaining about the recruiters in Prague. Please do something about this!
