Recruiter approached me through LinkedIn and setup 4 virtual zoom interviews in 2 days. Since the position was for a newly team, the interviews went well and I liked the interviewers ways of handling, approach, and respect for me. The next days recruiter sent an email and asked me to have another 3 rounds of interviews and I explained that I have already had that. Later on he realized and mentioned to me that he for positive feedbacks from all the interviewers however there is another candidate ahead of me and in discussion for offer letter. He also mentioned that the another candidate is lingering since past 6 weeks and made verbal offer. IDK why recruiter was again trying to have interviews if there is already a finalist candidate with whom they are talking even before my process started. It’s completely waste of time and I felt the recruiter is not reliable. He should respect candidate time.
