True story:

I called a company because a vendor told me they needed me. I got routed to HR, who told me they weren't hiring.

The VP of engineering called me back half a day later, apologized, and called me in for a meeting.

Director of HR tried to interview me before engineering, but the VP of engineering actually kicked her out of the room.

Eighteen months later, when they laid me off (as it turns out, it was a terrible company), the HR director tried to friend me on LinkedIn. When that didn't work, she tried Facebook.
