I applied through a recruiter.

I was sourced by a Figma recruiter for this role, and this was my initial recruiter phone screen. The recruiter joined 10 minutes late for our 30-minute call. He started our conversation by saying that he hadn't reviewed my LinkedIn. Later in the call, he asked a fairly malformed question. It was so confusing that he stopped to apologize, say it had been a long day, and acknowledge how unclear his question was.

I don't expect to be the right fit for every role and I'm not bothered by someone deciding my experience isn't what they are looking for. But this felt different. From the start, the conversation felt dismissive. I left feeling like I had not been considered as a serious candidate. Especially since Figma reached out to me in the first place, I found the experience pretty disappointing and, frankly, disrespectful.
