Curated from across
I have a story to share. So I had applied to a fintech company, given its OA quite successfully.
So I'm driving on KMP expressway on Alto K10 with no Bluetooth at a Sunday evening for some work. Suddenly I get this call from HR from that company that she wants to talk. I told her my paradigm and asked her if the call can be scheduled anytime on the next day (Monday). She gave a time and never responded back till date.
Like what do you expect? Stop in the middle of expressway? Ok I could have stopped in a truck lay bye point but calling on Sunday evening at like 6:30 PM? Even your job title puts human before resource if only they had followed that accordingly.
So it puts me in a bit of frustration that are HRs like that? Or is it bad company culture? Or my mistake?
The problem is poor understanding of power dynamics by these recruiters. Unfortunately, supply-demand (especially in current times) is too bad leading to a sense of arrogance in “left-over” TA staff.
One of my female friend who got an interview invite from a world famous lingerie brand shared a similar story. The recruiter literally misbehaved with her during the screening call. The recruiter was expecting that candidate will apologise but my friend disconnected the call 😂
Recruiter ended up sending an apology email for not escalating the matter.
Personally I got a watsapp message from a recruiter asking me “Why I am not interested in JD?”.
