A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and said that he thought that I would be a good fit the the role and that he would like to speak to me over the phone. I told him I was interested and gave him my phone number. He never responded. I sent a follow up message and he said I needed to apply to the role first, which was never explained and is highly unusual. I went ahead and applied to the position only to received an email from the same recruiter saying that I was not being considered for the position anymore. Unprofessional and a waste of time.
