I'm in Uber India. A Microsoft recruiter called me up at night from sleep to discuss an opportunity for Redmond office. I was excited to apply. However, I checked his number was from India only. I became slightly sceptical since I had not applied for any such role. I asked his name and basic details and told him to call during day.
I don't have any US visa auth as of now. I thought they wanted to sponsor my visa.
Next day I called him many times and even texted. No reply. Ghosted.
Also, I'm at junior level and his call was for a senior role for which I was definitely not eligible. Would he not have looked at my LinkedIn or resume before calling?
Why such useless recruiters Microsoft?
I asked my Microsoft friend to confirm if there is anyone with this name. They couldn't find. Also, this recruiter is not on LinkedIn.
Would this be a scam that I got saved from? Or did I miss on a π₯ Redmond job?
Let me know your thoughts or if anyone has a similar experience.
