So a couple of weeks ago I received a connection request from a recruiter on LinkedIn and although there was no more information than the request itself I decided to accept never knowing what it might turn into. Some days later the recruiter wrote to me and asked if I would be interested in a particular job. The job itself would be a great opportunity although it would be uncharted territory so I decided to agree to a call with the recruiter and the hiring manager the following week.
Obviously I spent quite a bit of time preparing for the call, but when the day came I got a call in the morning from the recruiter saying they had already found a suitable candidate. A bit disappointed that I had wasted my time I thought to myself that it was better they don't waste my time with a call if they already found another good candidate.
However 2 weeks later I see that recruiter posting the exact same job on LinkedIn where it popped up in my news stream. So after all the recruiter was not upright with me and probably the hiring manager thought my profile was not strong enough and turned it down before the call. However how would you deal with the recruiter from there on?
