Interviewed for CSM, had my first recruiter screen and was ghosted. Very disappointing, at the very least companies can send an automated or templated rejection email as a professional courtesy and basic respect for candidates. I sent a follow up email after I never heard back and never got a response. The interview asked basic CS questions - how many accounts have you managed, tell about an escalation and churn risk you handled etc. The recruiter spoke extremely fast and was very rushed, you could tell she was just listening for specific keywords, not looking to understand me as a candidate or what I would bring to the team. She didn't leave much room for questions at the end, and ended the 30 min interview after 20 mins saying her laptop was going to die, it was very obvious she just wanted to finish early. Not a positive candidate experience at all.

Was referred, recruiter reached out for an interview the next day. Interview process was smooth and the recruiters were great. Did a phone screen, met with the sr manager, then did a panel interview presentation with 3 managers, and a final interview with the sr director.
