I signed up online and a recruiter called me to schedule some tests. The recruiter took at least 2 days to call or email back about my application status. I was never told to call in or how to stay on a call list. I got one call from another recruiter about some temp jobs, but I could only pick one (I should have known it was fake). I never got any more calls after that. It was really unprofessional and a letdown.
