recruiter calls me up about a node position. I agree to a phone interview the next day at 3pm. wait around until 3:30pm...no call. I talk to him and he apologized a bunch and forgot to tell (or confirm the time) with the hiring company. he rescheduled for 2 days later (Fri) at 4pm. I wait around until 4:30pm...no call. this time he tells me I didn't answer my phone and I'm unprofessional. 5 min later I get an email from LinkedIn. (from the ceo of the hiring company) asking if I ever got back to the recruiter because they have been anxious to speak with me after seeing my resume.

He never once actually scheduled anything with them and led us both on.

    Cut out the middle man, great! You could probably leverage your situation to ask for more money. Something similar happened to me a while ago and not only did I make more but my boss saved on the commission he would have given the recruiter

    A thousand times this. One time, this recruiter wouldn't let go of me, despite the fact that she never sent my resume over to the company.

    @avstuff nope. the company had an exclusivity agreement with the recruiting agency.
