Thanks so much for sharing your feedback--we use it to further improve our recruiting process. In this instance, the Marketing Data Scientist role is new to BECU, and hence the recruiter did not have as much detail as they typically would which was reflected in the experience you had. We're using your feedback to ensure we have more knowledge about these types of new specialist roles going forward. It sounds like there might have been a miscommunication around next steps, as we generally do not confirm a next step in the process at the phone interview stage.
