Applied online and was contacted to schedule a phone interview the same day over email. Interview was pretty standard but the recruiter was pretty shady and used the bait & switch method. He interviewed me for the import coordinator position but multiple times during the interview the recruiter told me that he “felt” I would be a better fit for their sales team (which they are having trouble filling). Towards the end he brought up sales again and told me he could put me in front of the hiring manager the next day if I was open to sales. I expressed that I didn’t have an interest in sales and was looking to Interview for the import coordinator positions. After that the recruiter abruptly ended the interview and ghosted me. Very unprofessional. I understand recruiters have quotas to meet but you should respect the time and wishes of your applicants.

The interview process typically includes the following steps: writing a job description, posting a job, scheduling interviews, conducting preliminary interviews, conducting in-person interviews, following up with candidates and making a hire
