I was contacted for a preliminary screening after applying for the Onboarding Manager role. The recruiter rescheduled the interview for an earlier date, which I accommodated. What was supposed to be a 30 minute conversation was cut short to about 10 minutes. The questions were surface level and didn’t meaningfully assess my background, experience, or qualifications. Especially when asked directly, if there was anything I can clarify about my resume or experience. I followed up afterward, genuinely interested in the opportunity only to receive a templated rejection email stating the role was “now filled.” If that were truly the case, I question why I was interviewed at all. This experience felt rushed, disorganized, and disingenuous. As a qualified, diverse candidate, I left feeling like the company was never really considering me in the first place and that’s worth noting.
