Beginnings Credit Union Senior Financial Analyst interview questions

Phone screening by company recruiter for 45 minutes. He said he will get back to me on interview with hiring manager. But he insisted I provide my SSN and complete a background check before the interview to proceed. I never got an interview call despite follow up with CFCU. After several days I got a message saying that they filled the position. I felt they used my resume as an eye wash for audit purposes to hire someone of their choice. I was not comfortable that they asked me my SSN for background check at a phone screening without even a preliminary interview. I provided it because i was told I need to get background clearance to proceed. There is nothing in my background to be disqualified. The company has no diversity and believe I was discriminated against. They have no business taking people’s SSNs without even shortlisting them for an interview. I sure would like to see the company’s HR practices audited.
