I was contacted via phone with a first call where we discussed salary expectations, experience, and general fit. The process took one week with two calls and technical interviews:

1. With internal validation
2. Client validation.

I was called to discuss a starting date and to notify that I would receive an offer letter in the next days. I received a strange question, asking again about my salary expectations, and then another email saying that they could not accept those salary range and offered like a 35% less than desired expectations. This was unacceptable for me because this offer was, in fact, less than my current salary.

Just a friendly tip for recruiters: Be clear with your offer constraints in order to avoid facing an entire hiring process with zero results.
