First spoke to a recruitment consultant (internal agent) for 30 minutes, then had a 40 minute interview with the hiring manager. The recruitment consultant was very thorough and seemed to know her roles very well. I felt she was able to make a good assessment of people she screened. The interview with the hiring manager was a positive experience. I felt I was interviewing him, more than him interviewing me (a good thing, perhaps!). I got the impression that the open job spec was a "placeholder" to enable the team to "fish" for the right candidate for the team as a whole. This made it difficult to home in on the specific points i needed to hit. The 40 minute interview was good, but it did not yield a result, although the recruitment consultant did come back to me via email to let me know, which is very professional (most companies don' seem to do this!
