First round was a Zoom audio call with the Internal Recruiter. Recruiter seemed impatient, rude and unprofessional which I found to be bizarre and unnecessary. Despite this interesting and unusual approach to screening, I remained calm and professional. Usually recruiters are approachable and outgoing, but I guess there are always exceptions in any profession. Think this recruiter perhaps hates their job or maybe just me. Maybe the recruiter was just having a bad day, Strangely I got a rejection email one minute after the call saying "thank you and after discussing your interview internally we are not moving forward". Yeah sure they did. Whatever. Very odd. Perhaps I have dodged a bullet as who knows how they treat their employees if they have issues being remotely civil to candidates who are genuinely qualified and have lots of experience.

Application Via the ByteCode IO website, there was a link to LinkedIn. I applied online through Linkedin. Telephone screen The first stage was an initial telephone screen over Zoom with an internal recruiter.
