# Company Demands 'Immediate Joiner.' Interviewer Never Shows Up.

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Job seeker · via r/developersIndia

A company asked a candidate to be an "immediate joiner" -- available to start within two weeks. On the scheduled interview day, the interviewer never showed up. The interview was rescheduled for the next day. Same thing happened: no interviewer, no notice, no apology. After a month of silence, the same HR contact messaged again asking whether he could still join within two weeks. The candidate posted the exchange to r/developersIndia, where it went viral.
