I had two interviews, one with a recruiter and one with the hiring manager. They hired an external recruiter to do the initial interviews. The external recruiter accidentally sent me the hiring manager's notes about my application. I had some positive and negative experiences during the interview process, and seeing the hiring manager's notes about my application added to the negative side. They said I was promising, had less experience than other candidates, but might be a good fit for their price range. I thought it was incredibly unprofessional that the recruiter sent me this information on accident and did not realize their mistake. It seemed like the hiring manager was more concerned about salary and budgets, based on their comments. The first interview with the external recruiter was less of a phone screening and more of a traditional interview, with questions about management style, leadership philosophy, and goals for career. The recruiter sent me a rubric to fill out. The rubric was a bit odd because it was literally the bullet points in the job description and I was asked to rate myself on a scale of 1-5. Some of the items seemed fitting for this scale, such as being able to recruit freelancers, but others did not seem suited to a scale, such as whether or not I had a bachelor's degree. Overall the recruiter seemed disorganized. I met with the hiring manager next and had a nice conversation. They asked me about my personal and professional interests and asked me to convince them that I would be a good fit for more scientific content and recruiting. I never heard from the company after my second interview. While this isn't entirely uncommon, it is bad form to me to not contact a candidate after they've taken the time out of their day to go through two rounds of interviews. That combined with the recruiter contributed to a negative experience.
