Recruiter call

I submitted my availability through the recruiter’s scheduling link and made myself available during the day even with an 11-hour time difference while traveling. Despite multiple follow-ups to provide transparency, I received no response until a generic rejection email arrived. The process felt disorganized and unprofessional.
