I phone screened for a Recruiter role at Uber. The recruiter was brusque and asked questions only about a tiny part of my job which falls outside of my primary responsibilities, leading me to believe she was actually interviewing me for another position entirely. When I tried to clarify, I could sense she was irritated, as if I must be the one unprepared or confused. Yikes. She gave me no information on the company or the role other than what I asked her specifically. No effort was given to sell me at all. I understand that phone screens are monotonous and that rhapsodizing about Uber and the role is hardly thrilling the 57th time, but I'll risk sounding like a pretentious know-it-all in saying that making candidates excited about your company and the role IS part of your job. Judging a whole company and role by just one phone screen is maybe petty and premature in most cases, but I don't think I can learn much from a team that treats candidates at the top of the pipeline as expendable.
