I've been called by Bob too...and linked with him on LinkedIn. He also called me within a few days after my paid resume' blast. He made sure that he told me that he had gotten my resume' through the blast, yet I was already connected with him on LinkedIn, so to me, that doesn't count as a contact from the blast. He gave me the same song and dance. 3-4 companies who are definitely going to have positions in my area coming available in the near future. Janssen, Bertek, etc etc....the same song and dance about be by your phone, answer, they won't call back. He asked for the 3 references with phone numbers, which I believe is his way of gathering more names to call for recruiting, since he is asking for management names or people you directly worked with at your past jobs in pharma. He sent me an email asking for something else, which I sent him and then called me back, "talked down" to me as if I was a dumb child, accusing me of not sending him what he had asked for. When I interrupted him to tell him that his wording in his email did in fact, ask for what I had sent, he then admitted that perhaps he worded it wrong and clarified once again what he was actually looking for. I even emailed him about a month later to let him know that I was still looking and just wanted to keep myself on his radar. He CALLED me and acted annoyed, letting me know I should be patient. I am unemployed! You are a recruiter! I am following up with you and about the FOUR companies you SAID WOULD BE CALLING ME FOR A PHONE SCREEN! Isn't it your job to give me an update without talking down to me on the phone!?! And an email response would've been sufficient, rather than a berating phone call.
