Daily Recruiter Woes
Excuses, poor choices, obnoxious, and the ridiculous. Family emergency has been used 27 times this month. Is it time to come up with a new call off excuse?

So today was a busy day. I had interviews scheduled all day. At 11:00, I waiting for my next interview. By 11:05, if he shows up now, he can wait for me. I am going to the vending machine for an iced tea.
About 5 minutes later, I return to my office. My 11:00 interview is calling to reschedule. Except he is upset that I am not there, because WE HAD AN 11:00 INTERVIEW. He eventually leaves me a voice mail, where he wants me to call him back to reschedule. He said he had a family emergency and couldn't get to a cell phone.
I am not calling him back. He has shown me poor communication, poor follow up, and all around stupidity. If and when he calls me back. I am going to tell him the truth. I have two more full days of interviewing candidates, and will be able to fill the position without him. Maybe next time.
Now if he called me at 7:00 am, with the family emergency story, and advised he will call me later to reschedule, at least he is showing respect for the process, and I would give him another chance. But what it really comes down to, I truly have two more days of heavy interviews. And he had a interview scheduled. He blew it, not me.

My boss asked me to start this work related blog. He is quite animated when he suggests something. He calls this a B-Log. The B being a female dog...lol
Basically as recruiters for national clients, we always think we have seen and heard it all. However, someone always manages to surprise us with a ridiculous antic of some sort!
It's my job to get these down. How's that for a job!?
