Recruiters.
I interviewed with a recruiter for a position I was very qualified for and he wanted to send me to interview with the client but the price range was about $15,000 less than I was willing to take for the job so we had a long talk about what I was looking for, how qualified I was, etc etc etc. He said that he didn't have anything at the moment but if anything came up would definitely call because my resume was great, I interviewed well, blah blah blah.
I was scanning some sites today and saw the the company now has a position that basically describes my resume to a T and within my salary range. It was posted almost 7 days ago but he didn't call me about it. Of course I called him and left a message but do you think it is odd that he wouldn't call me if a perfectly matched job popped up?
I thought the point of a recruitment agency was to get qualified applicants and match with good jobs/companies (and work with companies to find good applicants).
The recruiter also happens to be my neighbor so I know for a fact that he couldn't have forget I existed - I see him every day!
Thoughts?
Re: Recruiters.
There are good recruiters and bad recruiters. You may have just gotten a bad one.
Heck, I worked for a company that was being purchased, and our site was shutting down. I got a call from a recruiter 2 weeks before we shut down, asking if we were looking for new Quality Assurance people. WTF???

Maybe he's got some other perfect applicant lined-up for the job.
You can't cocunt on anyone else looking out for your best interest. Just apply. You clearly don't need a recruiter for this. Heck, you can call-back with a story if you really have to push for an interview.
Then why would he post it on a search website?
He called me today. Turns out the job is for the company I have a personal conflict with so I can't even interview anyway! BOO.
