Infuriation: Refusal to respond to polite, professional follow-ups
Nicole solicited a candidate for an approximate fit, received a suitable resume from a senior candidate for a senior position, and then demanded tersely via email "What are your compensation requirements?" The candidate replied politely with the range shown for similar positions in Salary.com, and quoted that source, then heard nothing. The candidate followed up the next day with another polite email, asking if the Salary.com survey result was in the range - no response.
The next week, Nicole posted several more related positions, which ranked both above and below the original posting. The candidate emailed her again, asking if he would be considered for the newly posted positions, and asking again if the Salary.com figure was appropriate for Endurance Int'l Group. Nicole chose to ignore the candidate completely, and to ignore a relationship-building opportunity to possibly fill the related positions.
Nicole Gill, you're the winner of this month's "I'm an arrogant recruiter, you have no idea how busy I am, and I'm much too busy spamming new people to bother with simple, courteous communications."
