The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optiv (Denver, CO) in June 2017
Interview
The recruiter was very responsive throughout the initial process. Called to tell me the offer was given to an internal candidate, but if I could hold tight there would more than likely be a position open in the future. As some came open I reached out to inquire and the responsiveness was not there. If the initial telling of hanging right was not true, it should have never been told as it was disrespectful of my time.

**Disengaged and Unprofessional Recruiter Experience**
I recently had a phone screening with Talent Acquisition, and it was quite disappointing. Throughout the call, she appeared very disengaged and uninterested in her role. She asked only two basic questions about my experience and departure from a previous job, lacking any insight into the questions I asked.
Despite following up with an email as suggested, she was unresponsive and essentially ghosted me. This lack of communication and professionalism was disheartening and left a negative impression.
While I understand that not every interaction will be perfect, it's crucial for recruiters to uphold a standard of communication and engagement. This experience highlighted the importance of effective representation in the recruitment process as she seemed as though she’d rather do anything else than her role.
Overall, my experience with the TA was subpar, and I hope that improvements can be made to ensure better candidate experiences in the future.

Question 1
She asked only two basic questions about my experience at my current company and about my departure from a previous job.
Screening call, interviewer just went line by line on my resume saying "Tell me about that experience" without asking any detailed follow up questions. Seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else but interviewing. Didn't advance past that.
