[Initial Screening Interview Only] Pros: Recruiter contacted me via email within 48 hours after applying to the role Recruiter was friendly, professional, offered several appointment times for initial screening (30 minutes) via Google Meet Our conversation went very, very well, more of a "getting to know you" type conversation to validate relevant experience versus a technical interview Recruiter took the initiative to say they wanted to move my interview process to the next stage with management, everything seemed to be going great Con: Then nothing ever happened. Upon following up with recruiter, they said their focus had shifted to filling vacant senior leadership roles rather than the role I applied for. Uncertain whether they ever hired anyone for the role I applied for, the outcome was unexpected because they had seemed so enthusiastic about my application.
