The hiring manager for the role sent me an email proposing two times for an initial call, which was a panel interview. There was no call with a recruiter or the hiring manager.
I selected a time and was then asked to complete two case studies to present to the panel. I completed and submitted both.
When the panel interview began, the interviewers were not aware of the case studies and instead had a list of questions that they were instructed to ask me. The conversation lasted 30 minutes.
I was then emailed by the hiring manager and informed that they had made an offer to another candidate.
