Got contacted via email by recruiter (I did not apply) to set up a quick introductory call, her message saying “my name had come up during one of their meetings and they were impressed by my experience” based on my LinkedIn profile I assume, she was friendly and asked standard screening questions. After that they decided to move forward with an interview with the hiring manager (Sr Manager/Team Lead) about 1 week after the first call. Hiring manager was polite, communicative and very specific on what they wanted for the role, she expressed admiration over my overall profile, diverse exp and PR skillset but seemed a bit concerned? with my lack of direct experience in movies studios/Hollywood, which I did not have as I come from the consumer tech/internet industry, which I tried to address and dissuade extensively during the interview… it went well I thought. They went ahead and set up a third interview with the Director of the team, which was more about specific cases and scenarios, that one was the best one yet, she was very kind and reacted well to my answers. A few days later I heard from the recruiter via email letting me know they have decided to go on a different direction basically explaining that it had come down to me not having enough Hollywood/TV experience for the role. The recruiter was extremely polite and appreciated the candid feedback
