I was reached out to by a recruiter who had my profile in their database via email. We set up a call to chat about a role she had in mind that might be a good fit for me. I chatted with her on the phone, and she was professional and courteous. She wanted to set up a technical phone interview with the hiring manager. I gave her my availability, and the coordinator set it up without issues.

I had the technical phone screening with the hiring manager. It consisted of a few minutes of introducing himself and myself, and then we went straight to the coding problem. There were a few minutes left for questions about the role and team. I struggled a bit with the coding problem and needed quite a bit of help from the hiring manager (I wasn’t expecting the problem I received), but I ended up figuring it out in the end.

The next day, the recruiter let me know they decided to pass.
