An internal sourcing recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and scheduled an initial phone screen. I was then scheduled with a different recruiter who was specifically sourcing this requisition, and we discussed the role via MS Teams video. It felt like I was talking to someone who had a previous role as a front desk check-in receptionist for one of their hotel properties. The questions and flow were very scripted and rehearsed. I thought the compensation for this level of role requirements was on the low end and they were putting labor dollars over value-add. I did express that I would be within their advertised salary range but on the higher end. They reached out a couple of weeks later with a boilerplate rejection email. Upon reflection, I am very confident that I was passed over because they were looking for someone cheaper.
