I had a recruiter touchpoint first, and the overall vibe was calmer than I expected. In that early conversation, the questions felt normal and I didn’t walk away feeling blindsided. Later, I stepped into interviews where the tone matched that same direction—more constructive than combative—so I could present my skills without feeling like I was being attacked.
At the same time, the process had some frustrating friction. After one phone screen, I remember being asked about what other jobs I was applying to and why they weren’t in the staffing space. Once that came up, my interview offer got pulled, which instantly made the whole thing feel unpredictable.

My first step was a short phone call with a recruiter. We went through my resume and kept it pretty straightforward, with a few follow-up questions based on what I’d shared. The call itself felt easy and quick, about fifteen minutes, and I left feeling like they actually understood what I was looking for.
After that initial screen, the process in general was described to me as conversational rather than interrogative, with basic questions where I was given room to explain my background. Overall, it felt like a relaxed fit-check conversation—nothing that caught me off guard.
