Interview
Shockingly poor recruitment practices. Multiple recruiters who didn't seem to talk to each other at all. One recruiter asked me for my email address via Mobile whilst another asked me for my phone number via Email. Two interviews were scheduled according to the recruiters but on both times no call details were shared with me and it seems the interview dates only ever existed in the imagination of the recruiters.
