Behavioral Technical
This is for the Bowling Green, OH location. I had a phone interview with a recruiter, who was pretty nice. Then, I had a 1:1 virtual interview with the hiring manager. He was very impersonal and rude, only asking why I left prior jobs. He never asked me anything about my qualifications or background. I wasn't really even given the chance to talk about it either. It was pretty short for a 1:1. I tried to follow up with the recruiter for weeks, she said they were still interviewing and then ghosted me so I moved on. They continued to re-post the job for months, which is ridiculous. Due to the bad job market they don't respect candidates? Avoid!
