I first spoke to a recruiter about this position in early January. We scheduled a phone interview with Joanne the second week of January. This was a simple phone screening where she asked questions about my resume, my work experience, and my education. I wouldn't consider it anything out of the ordinary. I was told it would be about a week before I knew anything. It was two weeks before I learned I was to be scheduled for an interview with the hiring manager. After that, I had no news for several weeks, even after contacting the recruiter multiple times. Meanwhile, I saw multiple postings for what looked like the same position through other sources. Finally, over a month after the initial interview, I was told by the recruiter that they had chosen not to pursue me, even though I had never interviewed with the hiring manager.

Clear and quick without too much HR fluff. Asked about my experiences and gave relatively clear info about job responsibilities in mind. Interviewed with HR and not with anyone from actual role/department.
