I had the longest and most exhausting recruiter screen ever, which lasted a full 30 minutes. The recruiter asked me to go through my entire career history in detail, including the specifics of a job from 10 years ago. They also inquired about the games I enjoy playing and my knowledge of the company.

Only at the very end was I told that the job is not actually remote. The position was advertised as remote on LinkedIn, but the recruiter stated it was a mistake.

This is very disrespectful of a candidate's time. This kind of clarification should have been made at the beginning of the interview.

What video games do you play?

What tech stack do you use at work?
