Pleasant enough. Had to meet recruiter in person instead of do business entirely over the phone, which was slightly inconvenient, but a good opportunity to get out of the house and head downtown. Professional. I am being approached for a few technical positions, and was set up to take 3 technical equivalency exams from Kenexa «ProveIt!», a subsidiary of IBM. I know those exams aren’t free, so these people take their business seriously. My recruiter, Heidi, was engaging and a 30-​minute scheduled meeting turned into about 52, so… it’s not a place where they treat you like a faceless asset, punch you in and punch you out. We’ll see if anything comes of the positions I was approached about, but I can at least say the recruiter’s game is solid and no holes.
Small note: when I walked in, the receptionist was on the phone. There was no acknowledgement of my arrival, no eye contact made, no finger raised as if to say «just a sec», nothing silently mouthed to me like «just a second» — and the phone call was not put on hold to check me in. Sounded like a personal call to me, and I was standing there a good 3 minutes while she finished up. Not exaggerating — I checked my phone when I came in and right before she got to me, so… mmmmmmmaybe give potential employees who walk through your door a little more priority? Just sayin’. Not enough of an issue to ding the business for though.
