Clumsy is the only way I can describe it. I do not live in Galway but was rang by a recruiter in London. She went through my CV for a half hour and was not even sure if it would be possible that the recruiting manager would allow me have an interview.
To cut a long story short, she rang me again and arranged an interview for the next day. I advised it was not ideal as I would not be prepared and would have to rush home. I had an hour long interview which was fine except the manager did not know what the process was like (ie have a German interview for a German speaking job)
What made this process really clumsy is that on 6pm on a Friday evening, I got an email and call to do a test which was not mentioned to myself beforehand! I advised that I would not be doing it and withdrew my application. The whole thing was a complete waste of time thanks to the incompetence of the recruiter.
I think it sums up Siteminder when the number the recruiter was calling from in London came up as Spam. I think that I dodged a bullet there!
