Process
It seems like they're just looking to waste people's time.
I received a call from a recruiter who made it a point to mention how busy he was calling all these candidates. We spent 30 minutes going over the job again and answering mostly irrelevant questions.
A day later, I received an email stating that I wasn't good enough for an interview.
Perhaps if they filtered people's resumes beforehand, they wouldn't have to spend so much time wasting candidates' time on phone calls.
