I applied online and received an email from a very friendly recruiter saying the hiring manager is looking over my information. The recruiter then set up a call with the hiring manager, who was very nice as well. We spoke about the position and my experience for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I had to take myself out of the running because the location of the position changed and I was unable to move. But the overall experience couldn't have been better.
