A recruiter contacted me over the LinkedIn for Security Engineer role for their Cambridge S3 team. - Arranged a call and well explained about the role - It took one week to schedule the first telephone interview round The interviewer seemed from the non-security background, hence, he asked really basic questions that even a school kid can answer. I received automated email 2 days after the phone interview where they mentioned that they have other candidates who are just a little closer to target for this role, hence, they are not moving forward with my application. My basic questions to recruiter - If you already had other candidates, what was the point of approaching and rejecting more candidates? - Why do not you respect the candidate's time? You yourself approached me, appreciated my profile, convinced me for the interview, and when everything was going well, you rejected. FYI, I'm working in this role for 7 years now. Your interview difficulty is 0.001% as compare of my security engineering role.
