They are building their database. It is the ideal time for any staffing company to do so.

Not a scam, certainly. 
  
 Years ago when I used to apply via their website, I always received a response. 
  
 Yeah, the rejection email. 😂 
  
 And these guys have a revenue in excess of 1 bn Pounds! Yes, Pounds.

Growth And Strategy

Not a scam, it’s an international company. But I guess they work like a factory without a personal connection so difficult to operate in Indian market

Finance Consultant

The company is international and kind of consultancy work in India - sourcing candidates so that makes it faster for the company to onboard candidates

Lawyer

It’s a big company. If they are trying to hire someone for a big role, they spend a lot of time and money. A manager will fly to the location of the candidate if required.

Product Designer

Same situation. I think they are building a database.

Data Scientist

I have applied to many roles in their site. Didn't get any call.  
 Infact, just to check them I once sent a fake resume that was a close match to the role they were looking for. Still didn't get any call.they are  fake.

The recruiter inside Michael Page has not closed your candidature for whatever reasons - recruiting agencies operate basis the client needs. As long as they are closing roles for their clients, no one is concerned about the open candidates. It is more of a internal compliance issue than anything.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Michael Page, a recruiting agency, has a lot of open job postings always. But I have never got a reply back with details of the roles even for roles that I know I am well qualified for.

This is after I apply through their portal and email the hiring manager.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or what could be going wrong?

Hi,

Has anyone applied for a job through Michael page and heard back from them? Or have an interview set up. 

I’ve come across a couple of roles where I tick all the boxes, but I’m yet to hear back from them.

In past few days on linkedin i got ping from couple of microsoft recruters, saying we found your profile may be perfect fit for an opening at microsoft...bla bla , please share your cv .
Once i shared my cv there is no reply from them .
Total time waste. 
All hr recruiters have good profile on linkedin and not replying once you share cv .

Looks like their managers given them target to  collecting cv.

Microsoft recruiters scam

Engineering Manager

I was interviewing with a D2C startup and the recruiter from Michael Page was extremely friendly and helpful till she suddenly ghosted me. 

Don't understand why the HR would ignore me completely rather than give a firm Yes/No. Is ghosting a common practice among the likea of MP as well?

Got ghosted by the Michael Page HR

Growth Manager

I have seen some companies post about them looking to hire a lot of people and ask people to reach out to them over DM (if their DM is even open in the first place lol), but when I do, I never hear anything back. I have 4 yoe and have applied to so many of these companies, reached out to people working there, but no one has ever replied back. Why do they even say that their DMs are open in the first place? I don't know how to even get my resume in front of an actual person working there, and my resume is not even that bad. Like how do people get interviews in these companies in the first place? I have applied so many times but never actually got contacted by any HR. Any tips will be much appreciated.

[Rant] How do you get interviews in big companies like FAANG, PhonePe, Rippling, Atlassian, etc?

Getting interviews at FAANG india is not hard at all. Especially Amazon would literally interview anyone who knows basic coding and is alive. Have blocked multiple of their recruiters. 
  
 Try reaching out to folks working in these companies on LinkedIn.

From where do recruiters at MP get their sense of entitlement from? They're at best above average grads from below average b schools in India selling their souls to meet a commercial target. That's it!

And by the way, theirs is not the only sales job. A consulting partner does sales every day of the week - most of them are extremely humble. You don't need to be an asshole to do sales

Even at my worst, I'd never engage with them. And definitely would never hire any one of them if they come to me

Btw this isn't a case of sour 🍇. I'm secure in my life and do not see myself engaging with them. Had spoken to couple of them back when I was a consultant

Hey people I have genuine doubts and want your suggestions i have applied to PwC positions so many times and have not gotten any response like nothing at all like not even a no should I do something about it and what should I do its tiring sometimes i think about going to office and directly having a convo to them 😅 or maybe contacting the Hr i applied with experience and all the qualities and responsibilities matched even then no reply not even no. Please help me out it is so frustrating.

Often on LinkedIn we have encountered such posts which say x company has y opening, drop your email and I will DM you referral link/mail you z stuff, etc. A question always arises in my mind, DO THESE PEOPLE LEGIT MAIL/DM STUFF??? OR IS IT JUST ATTENTION SEEKING STRATEGIES OR SIMPLY FRAUDULENT WAY FOR GETTING EMAILS???

Truth behind such posts

I am posting this here cause this has happened to me more than once and want to know if this happened to anyone else?

I work in a relatively (heavy emphasis on relative) niche analytics role and I got a call from a hiring agency for an opportunity in blore. I have everything they are looking for in the JD and the recruiter from this agency wanted me to send me my resume urgently to present it to the company as well. And then comes the topic of current ctc. 

I am grossly underpaid by my current firm, one of the key reasons for me seeking out. Once she heard my pay she says “they are paying xxx for this role and your pay is too less, let me see if I can find a junior role that fits your pay”. I was furious and told her that my experience and expertise should be considered and pay is not an indication of my suitability.

She mumbled something and said she will come back and now she is ghosting me.

If the hiring agencies are gatekeeping on basis of my current pay, I am doomed.

Did anyone go through something like this? Any advice?


PS: I checked the company’s career page to apply by myself but they did not post this role on their page. There is no way for me to cut out the middleman here.

Bad experience initial screening.

Project Manager

So recently I interviewed in many companies including google, Microsoft, Amazon I have seen common pattern that HR not being transparent with candidates. They keep hanging candidates in between and not reply to text, email, messages, calls. Even if candidate is rejected why can’t they email or call to give feedback. Is this job really hard ?
“If I will get a chance to snap out one profession from earth I will snap out all hrs, recruiters out there.”

Ps:- Google ppl was very transparent throughout process one of best experiences for me .
