I passed the CV screening and had a first meeting scheduled, which was canceled about 20 minutes before because the position had already been filled. The recruiter then proposed another role, and after I confirmed my interest, there were no updates. Only after following up myself, I was told that this second position had also been filled. Unfortunately, the same pattern happened twice. While I understand the market is difficult, canceling interviews last minute and offering roles that are already near closure creates unnecessary friction for candidates. A more transparent and better-coordinated hiring process would improve the experience significantly.

Applied online. A call from hiring manager followed by a phone interview from another manager I guess. I thought it will be a technical round but it wasn't. Total waste of time.
