Recruiter: β€œI’m contacting you because I think you’d be a great fit. Are you available for a chat?”

Me: β€œI have availability between these times tomorrow.”

Recruiter: β€œGreat! Here’s a link to my Calendly. I’ve opened up a time slot for you to reserve for tomorrow.”

Me: visits link and finds no slots available because others have already booked them in the time it took me to respond to the email.

Why did she do that and not book the meeting herself, if she wanted to talk to me?

This was an exchange from yesterday. I’m not trying to book interviews and recruiter meetings on Saturday.

@ramsey Running her calendar like an airline, strategically overbooking to insure 100% utilization. Classy, like JetBlue.

@ramsey she wants the money that goes with finding a candidate that gets hired, not you.

@ramsey I doubt she ever checked. There are great recruiters out there, but many are fresh-out-of-college and it was either this or sell insurance.
