I applied for this position back in December of 2014, but this specific position required more travel (~75%) than I was willing to commit to. In May 2015, the recruiter reached out to me about another similar position with less travel. She set up an interview with the hiring manager which was one of the best interviews I've had. It ended with the Manager saying he thought I would be a good fit and would follow up with me to keep the process moving forward. That was the last I heard from him. I attempted to follow up with him but had no response. Two weeks later I reached out to the recruiter who said they went with an internal candidate. What a waste. They most like sought me out because they were required to have an outside candidate but knowing they would go with an internal candidate. My biggest issue is that the manager led me on and then never followed up.

Applied online and was contacted via email by the recruiting coordinator, she set up a phone interview with the hiring manager. Hiring manager called me on time, she was stuck in traffic so she talked to me while she was on the road. She had offered to reschedule because she respected my time, but i didn't have any other availability so it was fine. She got to know me and my experience a little bit. Got a personal email a couple days later from her saying she's moving on with candidates with more experience. The protocol is to just send candidates an automated email with the decline but she saw potential and offered to be a resource for me if I was really interested in the company and any future opps. Overall great experience!
