A recruiter responds to my application by emailing to setup a phone interview. After playing phone tag a couple times to setup the time, we finally settled for a Saturday interview which worked fine. After waiting for about 15 minutes by the phone, no phone call. I emailed her right away and she replies the following Monday apologizing that she double booked. Ok no problem, so we rescheduled on a weekday. Day of, I am left waiting for a good 20-25 minutes and the phone finally rings. She apologizes that she's late, etc. etc. and we went on with the interview. I thought it went really well. We ended with her promising that she'll get in touch with me the following day as "she believes in full transparency and disclosure and does not want people to be left in the dark", and she walks me through the next steps.
A month and a half later, and a couple of follow ups, I have not heard back from her again. RECRUITERS: As much as people do want to work at LinkedIn, please be respectful of our time, especially since some people, like myself, are employed and are taking our current employer's time to sit around and wait for you to get yourselves organized. And please do not make any promises you do not or are not capable of keeping.
I think LinkedIn is still a great product/service. I just wish recruiters are more aware and respectful of candidates' time and expectations.
