I received an email to speak with the recruiter about the position. This was a non-technical phone conversation. I was told that I should expect an email back that day or the following day from the hiring manager to set up a time to conduct a more technical interview. After not hearing back for three days, I sent a follow-up email to the recruiter to get an update on when I should receive an email from the hiring manager. I understand that people are busy things can get pushed back but was just looking for an update. The recruiter responded back very apologetic and told me the team was considering internal employees first for the position and are not ready to make an outside hire. If you are not looking to make an outside hire, then why post the job AND contact applicants? It was a complete waste of time for everyone involved. With that said, the recruiter was awesome and responded very promptly and professionally.
