I was initially told by the recruiter that I was a great fit for the role, both before and during our screening call. However, the interview was postponed just a few hours before, and when it finally happened, the energy was flat and the conversation felt unengaging. Next day, I was informed I wouldn't proceed because they were looking for someone with HR SaaS experience—despite being told my SaaS background made me a perfect fit. The feedback felt more like a generic excuse than a transparent explanation. Overall, the process felt inconsistent and disappointing.
