They took things that had an element of truth and misrepresented them. For example, the company does let people work from home, but only after 6 months. The recruiter said it was immediate. The company also gives out bonuses, but not necessarily to everyone in that department. Of course, the truth comes out after I accept the offer. I'm sure they're hoping I'll grow to like the job and stay. But that's a big gamble. If you go into a job feeling like you were short changed, it won't be long before you start looking for something else. Recruiters don't want to ruin their relationship with clients, especially if it's a big company who's using more than one agency. As for proving what the recruiter promised, I have it in written form. So this isn't just a matter of my word vs the recruiter's. They can't play dumb if the client asks where I got my ideas about the bonus and telecommuting.
