Engine interview questions

I had a wonderful first meeting with the recruiter and I'm mostly writing this to make sure he gets a shoutout and credit he deserves. He was very knowledgeable about the role and great at answering initial questions, more than any other recruiters I've spoken with during my search. He was energetic and responsive with follow ups. However, my interview with the VP of Revenue was disappointing. He seemed like he really didn't want to be there and that a decision was made before the interview started - looking left, right, and down at other things throughout our conversation. It makes it difficult to focus on a response when I'm looking at the top of a baseball cap, Your candidates put in a lot of prep and research beforehand, so focusing on the conversation and listening instead of texting is a simple way to show respect.

I was reached out to buy an in-house recruiter in LinkedIn about a job that was not posted. She indicated they don’t post most of their roles and just contact people directly and pull them into the interview process. After I replied saying I’d chat, the Recruiter scheduled a zoom call to have an initial dialogue about the role, with very few questions asked. She Indicated the entire process would take a few weeks, but she would get me an update later in the week after talking to the VP of talent about scheduling the 1:1 interview with her. She did follow up for ten 10 days, so I sent my first follow up email. Then I followed up two weeks later with another message, no response. I would never condone ghosting, but I wasn’t l an organic applicant, SHE CONTACTED ME! As a TA leader, I understand that a lot of messages get lost, and you cannot always respond to every single candidate in a timely fashion. However, if one of my recruiters got a follow up message after a follow up message and didn’t reply I would be very unhappy. It seems that they need better performance standards for the recruiters and higher expectations for candidate experience. I’ll consider this a blessing in disguise that things didn’t get more serious, just wanted to post for others to see who may be interested in co side ring this company.
