I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week.

The recruiter contacted me through an agency and said the role had been open for six months with active interviewing throughout that time.

He also mentioned there were already 4 candidates in the later and final interview stages, yet still pushed me into the process. He never asked about my background or qualifications before moving me forward, making it clear they were simply collecting resumes and wasting candidates' time rather than seriously intending to hire.

Do you want to move forward in the interview process?

They asked LeetCode type questions.
