I had the initial phone screening with the recruiter. They asked about my qualifications, told me about the job requirements and what the hiring manager was looking for, and went over all the great benefits. The recruiter was really nice and professional and seemed interested in my application. At the end, they asked for my availability over the next couple of weeks and said I'd be scheduled for the next round since the hiring manager was interested. However, I never heard back.
