The process included several stages. CV screening, recruiter interview, technical interview, and a later stage discussion with senior team members. The process required significant time. The main concern was that the key expectation around deep platform domain experience appeared only at the late stage (pre final stage) of the process. Earlier stages did not clearly signal that platform specific leadership experience was a core requirement for the role. The feedback at the end focused heavily on platform domain depth and platform perspective, which could have been evaluated earlier. This created a situation where a candidate can invest large effort before learning about a fundamental mismatch in expectations.
