Recruiter doesn't want to give me HR contact info

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I wanted to ask the recruiter some questions about 401k plans, health savings plan..etc.

He told me I would be able to ask these questions during my first day in orientation, I then asked him for HR contact info.

He said "You will have access to those contacts on your first day of orientation!"

Is that normal? I just want to know more specific information about the plan before I start the job.

I have already accepted the offer.

I have a copy of the employer's benefits. I just have more detailed question. For example, what options do I have to invest my Roth 401k money in?

It's not atypical that they wouldn't send you this kind of detailed information. You had an overview of the benefits package and you accepted the offer. Any questions that fall on the implementation and operation side of things will be covered once you've started the job.

I just want to know more specific information about the plan before I start the job. I have already accepted the offer.

Well if you need to know more information then you shouldn't have accepted the job. If you just wantthe information then it's reasonable to ask but not reasonable to make a big thing out of it before you've even started. Presumably anything you do learn now will not change your mind about the job anyway. From HR's perspective all this can wait until you've actually started, especially since they have an entire orientation planned that covers this exact stuff.
