An HR recruiter contacted me 10 days after I applied through their referral program and we had the first interview by phone. It a strange interview. The recruiter was very quick and short and seemed uninterested. But thats ok. The person asked a lot of specific/detailed questions about my previous employer (see below). At some point I wasnt sure if they called me for me or to obtain information from my previous company. In any case, the recruiter seemed pleased in the end, ending the conversation with: thank you very much, I will be in touch very soon with info on the next steps and next interviews. One week later the same person sent me an automated email basically saying we werent going to do a second interview. I dont mind not passing, it happens. I even dont mind the lack of information as to why, most wont these days. But I do think they should try to be a little more undercover about their actual intentions and, if one hasnt passed the first interview, there is no need to end the conversation on a positive note. Were all professionals here. Maybe provide a training to HR¿
