"@ Malia- That is very frustrating. Before recruitment begins, the manager has to be ready to interview and make a hire. It gives the company a bad name when you begin recruitment and there is a "no hire"

If you are going to buy anything or retain a professional to perform a service you will ask the cost. She should have also asked you your fee…"
