4:35 PM - And they'll all be surprised when the candidates revolt
Last spring I ended up doing several interviews (since I was unemployed at the time) and I know several people doing interviews right now.
What passes for acceptable is amazing.
One company contacted me for an interview, I replied via email and then poof nothing. I waited until the next day, sent another email to verify they received my last one. Well, I guess the recruiter decided to read my resume and not interview but didn't plan on telling me. The way I looked at it all the fail was on http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/?L=en.
I waited in rooms for 20 or 30 minutes. I answered stupid questions, and suffered through awkward office tours ("See the office you'll never work in, etc...").
When the job market becomes a candidate's market again, some companies will be in for a shock.
