Behavioral Technical
A recruiter from their Manchester, UK office reached out via a call and video conference. This was followed by 3 separate video sessions, one of which included their Sr Director. After all this, I followed up for an update, but everyone ghosted me, making it seem like they never existed. I would have preferred to get a rejection letter instead.
