At first, my experience with BlueWaveRP seemed promising. The team was communicative and proactive, setting up multiple conversations with their staff before moving me forward to their client. During one of those initial calls, I was asked whether this opportunity would be my “top priority.” I responded honestly — I didn’t know enough about the company or the role yet to commit to that, but what I could commit to was being professional and communicative throughout the process, and I asked the same of them. They agreed. They called, emailed, and texted. They even asked for a quick resume update because they were presenting to the hiring team the next day — I delivered immediately. Then… silence. Five days later, I followed up and got a brief reply. And that was it. No feedback, no closure, not even a simple “Thanks, but we’ve moved forward with someone else.” Nothing. Until, of course, I received an automated email a month later. As someone who has worked on the agency side of staffing, I understand how fast-paced and transactional the business can be. But this wasn’t a cold application — they reached out to me. They had me speak with multiple people, asked me to make updates, and made it clear they were moving quickly. If you’re going to put candidates through a multi-step screening process and present them as top talent to a client, you owe them at the very least a follow-up. Recruiting firms often forget that candidates are customers too. You may not place someone in the first role you discuss — but ghosting them burns the bridge for every future opportunity as well. I won’t be working with BlueWaveRP again, and I would not recommend them to others. Basic professionalism matters, and unfortunately, this team dropped the ball.
