I was directly headhunted and contacted by a recruiter for a Senior High-Touch Onboarding Manager position. Unfortunately, the screening process was highly unprofessional and a complete waste of time. During the call, the recruiter repeatedly overstepped the boundaries of her role. Despite lacking the technical background required for this senior position, she attempted to conduct a technical evaluation and even condescendingly offered unsolicited advice on how I should answer her questions.More concerningly, her line of questioning revealed a fundamental lack of understanding regarding basic corporate compliance and data privacy. She repeatedly prompted me to disclose proprietary, confidential data from my current employer, information that no ethical professional should ever share during an interview. Following the call, I received a generic, automated AI rejection template claiming "the team has decided not to move forward." Given the recruiter’s complete lack of technical context during our conversation, it is highly evident that the actual hiring manager never even saw my CV, and the decision was based entirely on her flawed, gatekept screening.
