Tried that one time and they said they wouldn’t put me in touch with anyone that worked at that location until I accepted the position. Social media pulled through on that one and I managed to talk to people there anyways, but thought I was dumb that I had to go behind their backs to get it done
That’s a red flag if a company is unable to connect you with workers.
Maybe my ego is massive because I’m in a industry that gets thousands of recruiters emailing me. But I’ve gotten very short with head hunters/recruiters/HR folks who think they’re offering me a “opportunity” when really, it’s a two way street or communication.
I agree. Unfortunately, it’s one of the largest companies within that sector of my industry, and probably within the industry as a whole, so getting short with them could severely limit future opportunities.

That said, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
