Absolute waste of time. I was told to schedule an interview. Their AI bot Atlas sent out a couple available time slots, and it should’ve already been a bad sign when immediately the time slot I chose was taken within a minute of getting that text. I requested a half-day off work to prepare for the phone screening interview. Once I got the call, the recruiter asked me two questions only: give me a run through of your background then she asked me if I had a current P&C license. The job listing said that a P&C license was preferred, but not required. Immediately after I told her that I am actively working towards getting a license, she bluntly told me they prefer someone who has a license then quickly told me that they’ll keep me in mind for future postings, “thanks, have a good day.” Then just like that, the phone interview was done in exactly 2 minutes. Not sure if they are just trying to fill a quota of “external interviews” when they already have someone internal chosen for the job position, but EXTREMELY disheartening experience. Probably the worst phone screening interview experience I had. Please understand that people take their time to prepare for these things. It’s so disrespectful to my time to know that I didn’t have an active P&C license when I applied, still schedule a phone interview, then bluntly cut it short after.
