They gave me a call for the phone screening. I was not even listened at all. They asked a question and they did not show any interest to interview me. I did not enjoy it.

I was reached out to by an ex-colleague who mentioned that a manager had seen my LinkedIn profile and was interested in interviewing me for a role. I had always liked the look of LinkedIn and had had a number of previous failed attempts at applying where I did not even hear back, so was happy to have this foot in the door. The first stage was a phone screen with the recruiter which went well, but unlike other calls where 'next steps' are discussed at the end, I received no indication on the call if I would be progressing or not. A few days later I heard back that they would be progressing me to the next stage which would be a video call with the hiring manager and a second manager. This featured standard interview questions, "Why LinkedIn", "Tell us about a time when.." etc. Again this went well and a few days later I was invited to a round of on-sites which featured a role-play scenario including presentation, a second presentation on "Why I'm interested in Recruitment Marketing and Online Advertising", and then finally, an interview with a peer. I did not hear back for another 10 days with an update where I was told that I was ultimately unsuccessful, although had been deemed a great cultural fit and was encouraged to reach out to the recruiter should other roles peak my interest.
