I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. I had a brief phone interview with them at a scheduled time. Based on this interview we scheduled a time for me to come in for a first interview with the woman whom would be my direct manager in Print Production. When I arrived for the first interview I spoke with the recruiter for approximately 20 minutes. Then the woman came in and we spoke for about 10 minutes. At this point we decided to have a second interview. For the second interview I would be meeting the VP of Print Production. I spoke with this woman for about 5 minutes. After this the recruiter and I spoke for about 20 minutes. My problem with the process was the recruiter. He was assuring me I was a top candidate, etc. I feel like he was just wasting my time and didn't have enough guts/honesty to tell me that I wasn't exactly what they were looking for. In the end I spent most of my time talking to this recruiter, who was very nice but actually had no part in the actual hiring decision.
