I was originally phone-screened for an entry level geologist position which went very well and the recruiter was fantastic to talk to. Unfortunately that position was cut and instead reworked into an entry-level Field Tech position, with a new recruiter taking over. The new recruiter is nearly impossible to reach out to, so I let it go. Some time later the new recruiter reaches out to me to schedule another phone screen for the updated position (not really sure why the previous notes from the earlier phone screen wouldn't have sufficed). I sit and wait for a call at the scheduled time, only to have no one call. After an hour or two of sending her emails she responds that she put down the incorrect timezone and a reschedules with me. Lo and behold they misscheduled twice and they don't call at the agreed time, wasting my time again. Out of embarrassment they just ask me to call them directly. They proceed to give me the most bland and stand-offish phone screen I've ever endured, which takes skill on their end considering how warm and calm their voice was. I'm no longer confident but they tell me they've sent my info to the hiring team blah blah you'll hear back in a week blah blah blah. I follow up a VERY reasonable amount of time later after receiving radio silence from their end. No response. I realize they're attempting to ghost me but they'd been so unprofessional and unpleasant to work with that I refused to allow them the satisfaction. I proceed to send follow-up after follow-up until I get an answer. I'm aware this might seem unprofessional in most contexts but here given how I'd been treated up until this point I think it was fair I returned similar energy. I finally get the rejection email, and its possibly the worst and most unprofessional email I've ever seen. They used the shortened and incorrect version of my name, and says I'm no longer in consideration for the "GIS positon" (????) This recruiter can't even do a generic plug and send email template correctly. I'm so dumbfounded that I'm not even sure that the rejection was meant for me. I reply asking if the email was a mistake to no response (initially). At this point I call the office in the location I was applying for to ask to speak directly to someone. Someone from HR gets back to me and I repeat everything typed here to them. I doubt they actually cared given how HR departments can be but it felt good to vent about it at the very least. I'm given the true reason for being rejected, which was primarily due to me living too far away from the project site which is fair enough. After my initial call to the location office, the recruiter responds with their correction. One last thing; although I'm not allowed to get too specific due to guidelines, this recruiter has postings up for similar positions in one city while the description states it is located in a city 2 and half hours north, In fact, it's just the description for the job I was interviewing for completely copy-pasted for a city an hour south of me while the job site in the description is about an hour and a half north of me. Makes you think. Keep in mind this recruiter is dealing with entry-level candidates. I would name and shame but unfortunately Glassdoor does not allow this, so this is the best I can do. TL;DR I dealt with possibly the worst version of those HR memes/wojacks you can see posted around the internet nowadays. To anyone from the company reading, I've done my best to give an accurate description of what occured. This experience was so absurd that I remember it nearly crystal clear and pointing out any minor discrepancy would be a waste of time.
