I received a call from a recruiter at Search Leaders. I had an initial 30-40 minute phone consultation to determine if my skills and experience were a fit for the position they were seeking to fill with their client. The recruiter thought I was a good fit and had the necessary skills for the position after asking an extensive list of qualifying questions. The recruiter then stated I would be moved to the next phase of the interview process and would speak with the account manager before being presented to the client. This is standard practice but did not happen. Instead later that same day, I received another call from the same recruiter stating i was in fact not qualified and offered me a lesser opportunities for which I declined. I wasn't provided an opportunity to discuss my experience and how I was or wasn't a good fit for the position, essentially not providing me with an opportunity to speak to the merits of my experience after I initially entertained THEIR cold call to me.
