A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We had an initial conversation about my experience and the position. Then a second recruiter contacted me to schedule a technical phone screen.

After the phone screen was scheduled, I asked if it could be rescheduled and suggested an alternative date and time, which was exactly a week before the set date. I didn't hear anything from the recruiter for a couple of days, so I wrote a follow-up email to check if rescheduling was possible. Nothing again.

Since no one confirmed anything and I hadn't heard back, I assumed the interview had not been rescheduled. However, they decided to call me for the phone screen on the new date and time I had suggested. I couldn't pick up because I was busy at the time. Twenty minutes after they called, I received an email confirming the interview was indeed rescheduled!

I tried contacting both recruiters again, explaining the situation. The first recruiter just said he would message the second recruiter. I never heard from either of them again.

I understand Apple is a big company and everyone is busy. However, the unresponsiveness of the second recruiter was extremely rude. I am very disappointed with Apple. I am submitting this review because I want recruiters to show more respect to candidates in the future.
