I had a recruiter interview where they were supposed to call me at a specific time, but they didn't. I emailed them about 10 minutes after the scheduled time to confirm, and they called me right away. The conversation was a bit disorganized. They started by asking if I had questions, even though they hadn't given me much info about the role. Several weeks later, I got an email for a second panel interview and was told I'd get a scheduling email soon. It's been nearly a month, and I haven't received any scheduling email, even after sending two follow-ups to check on the status and reiterate my interest. My application still shows as 'in process' online.

For contract workers, the process is just a half-hour phone interview. It was a standard phone interview where they asked about my experience and some general questions like 'what would you do in this situation'.
