I applied online. The recruiter cold-called me and left a message because I was on another call, but I called back within 20 minutes. The recruiter didn't answer, so I left a detailed message saying I was available all day or could be reached by email. I never heard back. It's frustrating when this happens; it feels like a game and sets candidates up for failure because I wasn't available when they decided to call. I was initially excited about interviewing here, but as a highly-qualified candidate, I don't appreciate recruiters acting like this, so I'm going to focus my efforts on other opportunities.

I applied and got an email from talent acquisition the day after. First, I had a short pre-screen call. About 10 days later, they asked for my work certificate. Then, I had a 1-hour interview with HR. The process ended there because my flexibility needs and their presence needs didn't align.
