I have interviewed for 2 separate positions ( 1 a few years ago, one recently). The first process a few years back consistent of 5 interviews before finally meeting with the hiring manager who I did not click with, and therefore rescinded my interest - whilst it was awesome to meet with the other interviewers and I was very excited to progress, it seemed like quite a waste of time and energy doing it that way - to only learn that the hiring manager was very rigid and did not present as a leadership match for me. The second and more recent interview was in reverse because I met with the hiring manager first. I had an awesome conversation with the recruiter who screened me who was very interested in my experience, skills and values. The hiring manager however, was disconnected with any background from the recruiter, barely looked at me on screen and read off interview questions - it was very transactional and there was no interest / care in getting to know me. He reiterated he was very busy working through lots of candidates so I shouldn't expect to hear back anytime soon. For a values driven organisation, who hires the best in the business - I think there is opportunity to re-think the recruitment strategy and make interviews (particularly at a senior level) more conversational, with clear indications that the hiring manager is interested in chatting to you.. not just checking off a box.
