I was recently contacted by a recruiter for the SRE Manager role, despite having already applied for and been rejected from the same position just a few months prior. I brought this to the same recruiter's attention, and she indicated she needed to locate her notes.

The next day, she confirmed the role had been filled, stating they were in the final stages with a candidate when she spoke to me. This suggests a significant lack of internal communication and coordination.

My time was not respected, and I was treated as a backup candidate for a role that was already essentially closed. This experience points to a disorganized and inefficient hiring process that is frustrating and unprofessional for applicants.

General questions: What are you doing?

SRE experience, etc.
