Tried that one time and they said they wouldn't put me in touch with anyone that worked at that location until I accepted the position. Social media pulled through on that one and I managed to talk to people there anyways, but thought I was dumb that I had to go behind their backs to get it done
It's really dumb to not let people talk to existing employees, when sites like glassdoor exist. Particularly because it's blatantly obvious when they're trying to pad out favorable reviews. But it's actually more convincing in person.
Or Facebook. There's a very large Facebook group and it's a small world within my industry. I made a post and got a direct message from the lead the next day.
That said, thinking back, the dude was kind of a tool so that may be why they didn't want me to talk to him lol
That's a red flag if a company is unable to connect you with workers.
Maybe my ego is massive because I'm in a industry that gets thousands of recruiters emailing me. But I've gotten very short with head hunters/recruiters/HR folks who think they're offering me a "opportunity" when really, it's a two way street or communication.
I agree. Unfortunately, it's one of the largest companies within that sector of my industry, and probably within the industry as a whole, so getting short with them could severely limit future opportunities.
That said, where there's a will, there's a way.
