I had the traditional exchange between recruiter and candidate in an initial phone screen. I was up front with her to let her know that I was pretty far along with two other opportunities. She still proceeded to try and set up an interview with the hiring manager. After a few awkward phone calls with the recruiter, she elected to postpone my interview with the hiring manager until I heard back from the other prospects I have in line. I felt that this was rude and a waste of my time. I will not be following up even if I do not receive an offer from the other company. Also, hiring manager stalked me on LinkedIn, which was a bit weird. If he was any good at sales, he would know a good salesperson always keeps a full funnel and is always on the look out for opportunity. Enough said.
