The recruiter called and asked me two very basic questions relevant to the role. I was told I would hear back regarding next steps but never heard back from anyone.

It is very formulaic. Not very conversational. Managers pretty much have a good idea of who they want to hire so interviewing can be seen as a waste of time. Lots of situational questions are asked. Be sure to have extensive employee relations experience or they will just go through the motions with you and won't consider you at all.
