Came into this process with relevant, verifiable experience in the exact market this company operates in. Same buyers, same problem set, same industry. It did not matter. The recruiter screen set the tone early. The call started late with no acknowledgment, was conducted from what sounded like a loud public space, and consisted entirely of reading from a list. No follow-up questions. No attempt to understand whether experience translates to capability. Just boxes, and if your answer does not land in the right column, the conversation ends and you move on to the next candidate. That combination says a lot. Late, unprepared, and completely disconnected from the actual purpose of the call. There is a real person on the other end of that conversation investing time and energy into the process. It should be treated that way. This is the core failure of checkbox recruiting. Strong candidates do not always arrive in the cleanest packaging. When you replace judgment with a form, you screen out performers and advance people who are good at interviewing, not good at the job. Inspiren may be building something worth watching. But if this is how they evaluate talent, they are passing on real producers and will never know it. Advice to Management: Your recruiters are the first impression of your company's intelligence. Right now that impression is not good.
