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.
