Applied online for a job I was a great fit for and received a standard rejection email a couple months later. I contacted the recruiter, and he had no idea why I was rejected, so I was put back in the running. After a couple phone screens, I was invited for on-site for interviews. I had the standard 1-hour presentation followed by 1:1s. The whole process was smooth and pleasant, full of compliments about how my experience and skills are so ideal for the role, and a lot of what I said in the presentation fully resonated with them and Blue's needs. I left the interview feeling like I nailed it, and I was thrilled.
A couple weeks later, I got a rejection with no explanation. It was pretty devastating, and they weren't even willing to consider me for other roles. Huh? The recruiting process, outside of the on-site interviews, was rather botched.
