I spoke with the recruiter who was enthusiastic about my background in healthcare being a great fit for the position. I was then told the next step is that they would be in touch to schedule a first round interview. An entire week passed without any follow up. Then at the end of the week I was contacted by another recruiter informing me of a first round phone call interview with two choices of time on a particular day.
I chose the latter of the two. I was told it would be a technical screen by a VP.
When the VP called she just went down a checklist of my resume and background. Asking for descriptions of my projects and background work as well as scenarios. I complied to hearing a lot of uh huhs and ah hahs.This went on for ten minutes as she sounded bored and uninterested and she was relaying information in the background not pertinent to the interview to a colleague signifying to me she was multitasking and not invested in the interview itself or respectful of my time. She noted my contract and short term consulting jobs ob my resume that were completed successfully with said employers as a negative as opposed to looking at the cumulative experience and the long term jobs on the same resume document.I brought to the interview of 15 years of application and web development over multiple industries. When I was informed by the recruiter that I would not be moving forward I felt a twinge of relief despite the job title being significant in terms of my goals careerwise. if this was a glimpse of the culture itself. I have qualifications to easily become a VP of software development or a Director of IT elsewhere as my employers and references can attest to themselves. The recruiter and VP contradicted each other which felt slightly disingenuous to me. One on hand the recruiter said the process would move very quickly in terms of a decision. When I spoke to the VP she mentioned they just started interview process as a whole and I was the second person she has spoken with. It made it look like the left hand did not know what the right hand was doing or it was a complete miscommunication.
