The staffing agency called me on Friday evening, and they explained how their original candidate that they originally submitted had failed a background check. They called and asked if I could start ASAP, as early as next week. The recruiter liked my willingness to work, submitted my profile and scheduled me to interview on early Monday morning. They were ready for me to interview on Friday and start me on Monday, but the company didn’t have time to interview me on Friday. The recruiter is hoping that the interview goes well and that I can start on Wednesday.
Is this a good sign? It is a short term contract but they talked about possible extensions, plus it pays very well. LinkedIn shows there to be 140 applicants but am not sure how many of them are real, qualified or ready to start immediately.
