The recruiter called after I applied on the website for a permanent CSR position that has been advertised on Craigslist and in CareerBuilder, and he asked me to come in the next day for more questions (mostly about what I thought about the call center) and an internet/browser/Netflix website skills test that was very easy. I was asked to come back in the afternoon for a group interview, where we discussed some recorded CSR calls and responded to the interviewers comments as if the interviewer was a real customer. Then things got weird. At the end of the 2nd interview, the group was told, "You know this is a temporary position, right?" After the interviewers left the room, we talked to each other and it turned out that none of us knew this - none of the recruiters had mentioned this and the ad that had been running said nothing about a temporary position. They had just changed the ad and were now only looking for temp people. It turns out that we would be employed through Aerotek for 30-90 days. Why wouldn't Aerotek do their own screening instead of the employer? It doesn't make sense for a company to do it that way. The whole thing ended up feeling very dishonest and deceptive and people were pissed since we had wasted time, effort, and gas (not a good thing for unemployed people).
