Start with a phone screen then followed by a zoom interview with a member of the Leadership/Executive. Followed by role play with 3 K12 employees, then an in person interview

I did a phone screen, Criteria aptitude test, and a web interview. During my interview I was told by the interviewer that they don’t want to move forward with me because I don’t live in the geographical region of the opening. That’s fine and understandable but I don’t understand why they had me take an aptitude test and interview. They could have easily seen my location on my resume or discussed the location issue on the phone screen Another thing that struck me as odd is that the person that interviewed me said they would rather cover selling in the open territory than hire somebody that wasn’t a perfect fit. It gave me the impression there may be some analysis paralysis when it comes to hiring for this particular role.
