Process
A recruiter contacted me on a job site, stating they thought my experience would be a good fit. They then scheduled an interview time with me, but no-showed. When I attempted to contact them afterward, their email bounced as non-existent. Hideously unprofessional.
Questions
No questions were asked, as the recruiter no-showed.
