4 touches total. Clear next steps. Moves very fast with little to no flexibility on scheduling within their 2-week window, so availability from when they first reach out is key.
It's evident that there's a good culture then and they're trying to flex and respond to the AI / Copilot market. Great interviewers and questions, but it's clear that all the interviewers have some type of strict rubric to fill out for very specific questions-- meanwhile, recruiter only shares general "themes" of the question types. This resulted in a weird type of game: "can you read my mind/the rubric that you can't see on my screen," so I advise to keep your STAR stories short and concise and specific on KPIs (money, time, titles) and leave them room to ask follow-up questions.

Entrevista
The recruiter I've met with for the screening interview was the indifferent person I have ever met in an HR function. I was invited to meet with the line manager, she was really nice and I was invited to complete a writing exercise. I handed in my exercise in time and never heard from them again. I've emailed the recruiter twice and didn't receive an answer. After all, I wouldn't want to be part of a company that treats potential employees that way!

How to handle difficult situations with customers.
The communication between the recruiter was horrible. They were very disorganized throughout the process. I wouldn't get an update for a week and I had to reach out for more information.
