Why-oh-why would a recruiter follow up an application by asking for communications from a candidate, then ignore those communications? In this case, the candidate responded promptly and professionally via email to her solicitation for availability. That was ignored. The candidate let a couple of days go by, then left a professionally courteous, succinct voice message at what seems to be a home office number. That was ignored, too.
Ms. Ferdoussi is a self-labeled "talent acquisition manager," (recruiter/waste of oxygen and time) for Kinetix, a recruitment process outsourcing firm (RPO) for small client companies who make the mistake of trusting losers like Ms. Ferdoussi to find employees. Therefore, Ms. Ferdoussi's obstinate refusal to respond deprives her client company of likely candidates, CANDIDATES WHOSE RESPONSE SHE INVITED. Let's make that clear: candidates applied to a completely different company, and this flake doesn't actually work for that company who's hiring. Recruiters have usually memorized the line, "the hiring company is our client, not the candidate," so we wonder how that client company would feel if they know that Ms. Ferdoussi's rude unprofessionalism is blocking that client's employment needs as well as giving them a bad reputation through her inaction.
Like the vast majority of her bottom-feeding ilk, Ms. Ferdoussi has no experience in a bottom-line-focused corporate role. She's never created or managed, never had to hone her communications skills in real-world production meetings, never been part of a team, never been held accountable or even supervised by anyone other than recruiters. She recruits people who are much more experienced and more skilled than she is, for roles that she cannot understand. She's never going to be able to learn any better behavior. Stop wasting oxygen and time!
