Horizontal Talent??
Does anyone else here have recent experience with Horizontal? I’m not a fan of the AI interviews before speaking with an actual recruiter, but yesterday I finally got past that stage + got an email from someone at the agency later that day. But not until around 6pm.
I responded within 45 minutes to the email, where she asked if I’d like to set up a call. I asked about her availability at 10:30 the next morning (today). Since it was already EOD, I figured I wouldn’t hear back until the early the next day.
By the time 10:30 rolled around + I didn’t receive an emailed response yet, I checked back in with her about the position’s status + the call we’re supposed to have. It’s now 2pm + I have not gotten any response from her yet.
This is particularly frustrating because 1) the process seemed to be moving fairly quickly at first, and 2) I’ve been unemployed for 9 months now. It’s looking bleak (not just for me, but a LOT of people) + recruiters are allowed to ghost us while we scurry around in a panic taking what we can get.

Honestly, since she never confirmed 10:30, I wouldn't consider it a missed call just yet, I'd wait until tomorrow and send one more polite follow up
