The interview process and response was fast, within a few days. It was hassle-free or maybe the recruiter was young and unsure what to ask further. I got declined by the clients because I left the trade for 10 years and they worried I could not catch up.

Behavioral Presentation Case Other
It feels like the leaders already had their minds made up about me before the interviews even started. The manager made some really negative comments about my previous company in the first interview, which was surprising. Then, another manager did the same thing in the second interview. It's weird because they still offered me the job after all that. The second interviewer also came across as arrogant, like they were trying to prove they were more experienced and their methods were better. I'm not sure if this was some kind of sales tactic to get me to accept a lower salary by badmouthing my previous employer, but it definitely didn't feel professional or respectful.

Behavioral Other
The interview process had 3 rounds in total, and the whole thing took about 2 weeks. The consultant who reached out was really nice and friendly. The interviews weren't too tough as long as you showed interest in the job, could explain things clearly, and proved you had researched the position well. I didn't really like all the personal questions, like they needed your whole family history and jobs, and the implication that foreign candidates were just trying to get a work pass. It's weird because most companies promote Diversity and Inclusion and non-discriminatory policies, yet RecruitFirst was still asking about what your family does. The salary and incentive plan they offered me was low compared to other agencies, and with policies for pay cuts if targets aren't met, it's just not a great offer. Too many red flags for sure.
