Had several interviews last week, which in itself is odd, it being Thanksgiving, with a maximum of three working days for most people in the US. But it got…odder.
We were toddling along fine; I told him about
my experience, he told me about the opportunity and the company. Then he said, “Okay,
I’ve some logistics to get out of the way.”
Well, I thought that was a segue to the
question of compensation, but no.
Recruiter: This job requires reporting into one
of our US offices, either Tampa or Salt Lake City. Are you okay with relocation,
and if so, to which?
Me:
Recruiter: I thought I mentioned that in my
email…?
Me:
(He had not. It would have kinda stood out if
he had.)
So, that was a hard stop.
I hesitated on whether I should point out an
error on their website, but what the hell—I wasn’t getting the job anyhow, so I
sent him a reply to his initial email (which did not mention the relocation
thing) and directed him to the solutions page, where three inches of text
separated a repetition of the same statistics, but with one number changed.
It’s not clear to me why you’d repeat this data
on the same page, but if you’re going to do that, you should not say that the
decrease in alert triage and response times is 58% in one instance and in the
other it’s 52%.
As of yesterday, they hadn’t fixed it.
