Was reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Asked if I would be interested in learning more about a recruiting specialist role with Qualtrics. A few days later someone else on the recruiting team called me and we chatted a bit about the position. I said I'd be interested, and she asked me a few quick questions about my career experience, goals, gpa, etc. Was told that I'd be contacted soon with more information on the interview process. A few days later, I was sent a "Thanks for your application, but we are persuing other candidates" email. This left me a bit confused, as I had never filled out an application. I'm sure they had plenty of great candidates (they're a prestigious company to work for), but I was a bit confused about going from being approached by a recruiter to a "thanks but no thanks" email in a week. I reached out to both the recruiter who contacted me and the recruiter I spoke with on the phone for some feedback/clarification, but it's been a couple of weeks without a response.

Recruiters reached out to me on indeed. Easy to communicate with, were flexible with my schedule, and seemed like cool people. After the first phone call, they scheduled 3 zoom interviews right away.
