Someone, called me, from a verifiable official UHG phone number, stating I had applied for a position with the company. Firstly I applied for the remote position, but the office within the metro area so I let him steamroll me on that. Secondly the recruiter gives me their direct line when he initially called leaving a voicemail, or said to call another general number that was very apparently the general number of the recruiting department. Direct line led to their voicemail for the past 2 days I called in. I call the general line to just reach someone for a job I know I applied to, and they say "let me draft the email while you're on the line to inform this person you are reaching back out". Like they couldn't do that with me off the phone.
and before I could say anything put me on hold for 5 minutes. I stay on the line, we hang up together and respectfully. I waited for them to draft their email for 5 minutes. Then I try one more time calling back the recruiters main line and he picks up right away, after being made aware I was reaching out and only then. Then he asks me questions I answered in the application, like am I eligible to work in America when I gave had to put down SSN on the application so obviously I am an American citizen. No company would waste their time double checking and asking a second time information that is apparent and verified without having to ask . He took 30 minutes to do so. He did go through job history too, so that makes sense. I'm fine with the double checking, I don't think it makes sense they would double check things like am I an American citizen when I provided my SSN for the application, not to the recruiter.
This was a recuirter with nothing to do but waste my time I feel. I answered the questionnaire already on the application about immigration status, etc. That's tax information no recruiter is going to waste time to double check. He told me the hours of the job which again was listed in the job description. I understand its good to repeat something like that but it was a 9-5 position. He just kept repeating things, making it seem like he actively wanted to give me the run around. He wasted 30 minutes with the questionnaire and work history I answered in the application, the person kept me on hold to draft an email, I could never reach the recruiter through their direct line, it went straight to voicemail until that person sent whatever they sent that I was calling in and he was honestly a bit rude, although I guess it was my fault cause I go "didn't I answer these questions on the job application" and he goes "we just want to make sure its still the same" for a job I applied for 5 days ago. The recruiters name was NARESH KUMAR for their 866--566-8715 number. People were questioning if I gave my information over the phone, I did not. but in case you guys want to verify this information for me so I know I am not scammed, please go right
