It's not really a question of it being personal. If it's a signal that the process is broken or a recruiter is overworked, though, that's a really huge red flag and that company should be avoided or at least treated with great caution.

Recruiters often do not operate like the rest of the company. There’s not always a universal culture at a company, nor consistent work patterns between groups/orgs. In other words, I wouldn’t at all associate a recruiter’s behavior with potential future work experience.

If it’s a small company, different story. Any company that could feasibly qualify as “big?” Ya, just bad luck perhaps
