I read your comments and I understand your situation. Before I begin, I'd like to say there's no reason for him to neglect you or dismiss your calls. He IS responsible for at least returning your phone call and speaking with you. So from my understanding, you're basically bashing a company for not returning your calls and calling them unprofessional for it. Recruiters are not out to find people jobs. It's a common misconception. We work for the Client--NOT for you. If you were to pay us to search for a position for you, then you'd be hiring a HEAD HUNTER--not a recruiter. They're completely different animals. Recruiters are obligated to find the best fitting person for our clients. It's possible the position was filled internally (the client found someone on their own), another recruiter filled it, or the job was washed or put on hold. As for your opinion of the facility itself...Why would you even agree to interview in an area that wasn't secure? You could have let the recruiter know that you'd prefer to keep your information private and that you'd like to wait for a room to open. He was merely trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible as a courtesy to you. As for the 'farm' comment, Aerotek has commercial and professional divisions. It's possible you were in a room full of light industrial workers, but what should that matter? We interview a ton of people daily through phone exchanges, interviews, and lunches. That should be a good sign that we have high volume and are a sucessful company. Do you feel like you're the only one looking for a job? In your defense, I did try my hardest to find a person by the name you provided and did not turn up any results. Perhaps he's already gone or you have the name wrong. Why wouldn't you have called the secretary (main line) and ask to be transferred to him or to speak with one of his partners? Aerotek employees always leave the name of a partner that could be reached.
