A recruiter contacted me, and the first red flag was that they emailed me at 8 PM for an immediate next-day interview. When I responded, they didn't confirm or respond until the last minute - they claimed that my email was in her spam folder, then asked me to reschedule.
Not only was this unprofessional, but they made this experience worse by ghosting me after they confirmed my second interview eligibility. They made it seem like I was going to secure the job successfully. I reached out every week and got no response.
Recruiters tend to have the habit of ghosting candidates, and it's incredibly disrespectful, given that they are the face of the company; it gives the company a negative look.
It takes less than 1 minute to send a rejection email, and I don't understand why recruiters lack the respect to do so. I'm a recruiter myself.
