Long, 45min long phone call that went longer than it needed to, and mostly consisted of going over both my work history and the requirements of the job. Recruiter and I agreed I was a good match, discussed that normally they contract but they might bring me straight on because of how qualified I am in the area. Said oh, take this assessment so we can make our offer and we’ll contact you after. Wasted another of my lunches to take this 2hr exam, long, tedious, but at least related to research. Got confirmation of receipt and…..nothing. Ghosted. Emailed them after two weeks asking if they were still deciding or if the job had closed, trying to prompt a response. Still nothing. Wasted a lot of time on nothing.
