A recruiter reached out via email to schedule a 45-minute phone interview. It was great a first but the recruiter asked questions as if he was the hiring manager and it seemed a bit sketchy.

The process was very straightforward and clear. I first had a recruiter call where he learned not only about my experience, but also what I wanted to do in my next role. It truly felt like a conversation, he was very warm and often referenced things I had shared during the call, which made it clear he was genuinely listening. Next, I met with the hiring manager. She was very helpful in answering my questions and was transparent about what is going well, as well as areas of opportunity within the role. The following step was meeting with two other individuals on the team. Unfortunately, I was ultimately not selected for the role, but the recruiter provided very clear and concise feedback on the decision, which I greatly appreciated. That level of transparency and effort is not always something recruiters take the time to provide. Wishing the team continued success!
