The talent acquisition/hr generalist texted me and said she saw I applied and asked to set up a 20-minute phone interview. We scheduled a time for later that same day. She called at the scheduled time and said she had a lot of people apply for the position. She wanted to go over some information before getting into so as not to waste anyone's time. She said this was a new position for the company and she told me the starting pay. I asked her if there was room for negotiation since I had many years of experience. She said no, so I thanked her for her time and told her if anything changes to save my application.
