I was contacted via LinkedIn regarding an exciting new opportunity. I then had a phone interview to talk about my relevant experience, and what I was looking for moving forward I was brought in for an interview with the main recruiter for CLR, where the role, company, benefits and ethos of the company were explained. My final stage interview was with the Line Manager and Commercial Manager to delve deeper into my experience, motivators, figures, recruitment understanding and market knowledge.

I was called by a recruiter who I previously spoke to a month prior, they had a job opportunity and thought I would be a great match. They wanted an in person interview with me for the following day which I said I could only do mid day due to me working till 1am tonight. I then had another call asking if I would be able to do 10am due to the CEO being in a meeting later on, I agreed that 10 would be fine. The next day I had booked a taxi and arrived, I was greeted by the recruiter and CEO then taken into a office, it was a 2 minute conversation till she left the room and came back to tell me they could not proceed with the interview due to the CEO being in a customer call ( despite me shaking his hands 2 minutes ago ). I was more than understanding and said I could get a coffee and wait around although they was very persistent on me not waiting, I explained I had got a taxi here, its raining and would like the chance for an interview but they still said no and would give me a call Monday. I received no phone call so after a week I wrote an email explaining my disappointment for their lack of professionalism, I had no choice but to feel there was a ulterior motive. Despite asking for a response, I had no reply and no offer to reimburse my taxi.
