I only had a first round phone call with a recruiter, but the entire thing was extremely unlike anything I've ever experienced. First of all, the job posting itself was very vague. Its two main sections are "We are..." which describes the company and what they do, and "You are..." describing what kind of candidates they are interested in. Nowhere in the description, however, does it actually say what this specific role would do. I figured, hey, my background seems to apply, so I might as well submit my resume and see if I can learn more. I was contacted soon after by a recruiter, and that call was even more vague than the job description. The recruiter only asked me questions, including why I would be a good fit for this role, despite my not really knowing much about the actual role. I was not given any opportunity whatsoever to ask any of my own questions, and was not given any additional information about the job. I was told I would hear back regarding any next steps, but at that point I wasn't even taking the recruiter seriously anymore. I have been interviewing quite a bit recently, and have never come across any other posting that, after reading the job description and speaking to a recruiter, still made very little sense to me.
