The interview process feels more like a conveyor belt than a human interaction. They are very fixated on checking off boxes on their rubric, which means they may miss out on potentially great candidates who don't fit their rigid mold. The hiring manager seems to have a "reject first" mentality, making the process feel like a one-way street. I sense there's a culture issue and several red flags. The recruiter's rushed approach leaves candidates feeling like just another number in the system, with no room for genuine connection or understanding of their unique abilities, or even questions. She mentioned that the hiring manager likes no one, possibly because he is trying to backfill his role.
