The process took about 5 weeks to hear back, but after I got an interview scheduled, everything else was really fast. I got offered the position right on the spot, got the offer letter same day, and started the onboarding process that evening.

I was told that I didn’t have experience even though my resume states I have at least three years of experience related to the job that I applied to. My guess is the recruiter ignored applications and hired a friend because she wouldn’t reach out to me personally or by email after I attempted to contact her multiple times. I was informed of my lack of experience by the main recruiting office and they apologized for her behavior.
