I was contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter about a job in my field. I have put ‘open to work’ on in the background as I am on a fixed contract that is ending in March - they haven’t yet been able to guarantee extension or permanent so I need to look around to protect myself.
When the recruiter contacted me she said it was for an X Manager post, with an ‘up to’ salary that is in line with management roles in this industry. I am looking for a step up so expressed my interest, spoke to her, gave her my CV. She went back to the company who want to interview me in a few days. On receiving the interview invite it was titled X Trainer instead of X Manager. I went back to the recruiter who said ah yes, well I was clear with them that what the role entails is more in line with a manager role but the internal designation remains Trainer. apologies for the confusion. I’ve accepted the invite anyway as I need a job regardless, however, I’ve been a bit misled in the run up to this which I’m a bit salty about. I’m also surprised that the salary she has cited would be in line with an X Trainer role in a company of this size (it’s much smaller than my current place of work which wouldn’t pay that for an X Trainer)
my question is do I raise this at the interview ie the recruiter did say this was a manager role when she contacted me, is it?! (More politely of course) or do I just leave it and see what happens after interview if I get to another stage?
this is the first time I’ve ever used a recruiter to secure an interview - I’ve always applied directly before.
