After an online submission, there was a quick turnaround in the review. An interview was set for two weeks later. Meeting the hiring manager was a pleasure as it was a discussion both about the job / role / expectations, as well as my skills/experience. Following that was a conversation with HR who started out the conversation with my background. This individual never looked at me once, and at some point asked my current salary at which point, she abruptyly ended the discussion even though I made it clear that the position is very different and the salary was not the driving factor in our conversation. I spoke to the hiring manager much later and it was clear that HR drove the decision without taking into consideration any of the relevant factors.
