Over a month after submitting my application, was invited to a 30 min video screening by in-house recruiter - very positive, upbeat professional who knew the business and position needs After much more time than expected, moved onto 30 min video interview with hiring manager/boss. He was smart and professional and easy to engage with, but not as forthcoming as the recruiter. Again after much more time than expected, I received a brief, impersonal email from the recruiter that the hiring manager wants to proceed with other candidates.
