The recruiter seemed entirely uninterested in getting to know me and my experience during the phone screen despite their team cold emailing me about the opportunity first. I received an automated rejection email not long after the call.

I applied online and interviewed with the recruiter a few days later. Then met with the hiring manager and then the team. I appreciated how transparent my recruiter was with me and how he always kept me updated throughout the process. I didn't end up getting an offer, but had a positive experience going through the process.
