Met with hiring managed. Interview was normal and at the end the hiring manager let me know they are looking for “actual hard workers” who can handle the fact that they run as a skeleton crew.

I was referred for the job by a senior staff member, I was sent a few questions to fill out and a few days later I had a video interview with a recruiter. It went very well, I had all of the qualifications and many years experience in the sector and the recruiter explained the next steps in the interview process as if I would be moving on through them and said she would get in touch in a few days. The following week I received a vague and impersonal rejection with no information or feedback.
