UC Merced Senior Recruiter interview questions

Behavioral Interview. Phone interview with 2 reps from HR. Interviewers seemed inexperienced. One interviewer spoke and the other hardly said anything for the whole hour. Questions were scripted, no background on the role or environment was ever mentioned until prompted by me and even then the overview response was a one line to the effect "we're staffing for 2020". No mention of next step until prompted. I sent a Thank You email to both. No acknowledgement. I sent a follow up email a week later to check on my interview status. Know acknowledgement. It wasn't until I sent an email to a 3rd person in the HR department did the interviewer email me to say a decision was not yet made. The following week the interviewer sent an email informing me that someone was selected. I felt the whole process was odd in that I was uniquely qualified for the role, and offered a passive recruitment strategy that if they are smart they would use. That is not to say I should have received an offer but I was expecting a follow on in person interview. Throughout the process I felt they had identified a candidate initially but had to go through the compliance exercise. All in all, it was a poor candidate experience and complete waste of time.
