Handled very professionally. The recruiter is based mid-west, but had smart use of career networking software, was highly articulate, transparent and informative in terms of realism of opportunity balanced with investment in talking to talent. It turned out the position was very much going to be an internal candidate, but they were honest about it up front and very positive about continuing conversations for the future. Really liked the people. Office a bit conservative, bank like and also department a bit scattered all over the country which is ok but in the first 6 months of a new position, you would imagine face time important.
