Received missed calls but no voicemails or emails. Rang back the number after 3rd attempt to find out it was recruiter. Said can we do a screener interview which I was fine with. He asked me a few questions all of which could have been checkboxes or an email (right to work, etc). None of the questions were about my experience, skills, why I want to leave my current role or why I want this one. Then said he would email the questions and tell me what to write by reply. Clearly phone confirmation wasn't sufficient then. Obliged this process and he then asked me repeatedly for my current salary. I explained the range o was looking for and he still asked. I initially refused to answer as it isn't relevant and he said I'd be asked and need to share at interview stage. Felt very weird so I said I'll disclose now but asked him to confirm the salary range. Their maximum was the low end of my desired range so I said ok and confirmed my current salary was a few thousand below this. Anyway after this he said he will now pass this to the hiring manager who will be in touch to arrange interview on the next week. I then about a week later got an automated rejection email. All in all very strange and concerning process. The obsession with my current salary felt unnecessary and invasive. It also made me feel more like a resource and number than a person. I'd have done the interview but honestly this initial call made me question if this was a company I'd want to work for.
