Applied online and received a HackerRank test. I got a call from the recruiter to get to know me better.
I was under the assumption that I did the test well, and hence I got the recruiter call.
To my surprise, after the conversation, the recruiter sends a generic response saying that based on the "feedback", they're not moving forward with the interview.
This felt like a gut punch especially, when I knew that my answers were correct and on point.
Don't interview candidates if you send out cookie-cutter responses. Learn from the industry.
