    mysterious recruitment procedure

    Have you ever run into this situation:

    1. Recruiter calls you about about a promising role, names the client
    2. You wait for a while, don't hear anything back, can't get in touch with the recruiter
    3. You get in touch with the client directly
    4. The client interviews you, likes you, makes a direct contract with you

    This has happened to me about three times... in all situations I had a suspicion that the client was paying off the recruiter behind the scenes but for some reason wanted to make the hiring process as silly and convoluted as possible...

    Your thoughts?

    More likely client screwing agent.

      Probably the agent overestimating how much the client wanted to use his services.
