The recruiter was super clear and helpful, making sure we both weren't wasting each other's time. They wanted to understand my fit for the role and my salary expectations right at the start to make sure we were on the same page.

I had a recruiter call scheduled, but they didn’t seem prepared at all. They hadn't looked at my resume beforehand and didn't ask any real questions. Near the end, they just said I wasn’t a good fit because there were better candidates. It felt like a waste of time for everyone, and frankly, it was pretty unprofessional. I wish they had been more upfront instead of having a meeting that felt disrespectful of my time.

Got reached out to by a recruiter on Linkedin. Had a great first chat with them, super open and positive. Then, they set up a bunch of phone interviews with leaders and some of my potential peers. The last one was with the hiring manager. All the chats were professional, but always kept a good vibe. Six interviews over two weeks, and then the HM called to say I got the job! Super smooth and totally clear process. The recruiter checked in between interviews for my thoughts and also shared feedback from the interviewers. It was a great process and worked out well for me!
