Contacted by United Health recruiter via email to set up a brief phone screening (tell me about yourself, why are you looking for a new job) that was set for a Friday. Was told that I would be contacted the following Monday, but I had to follow-up to get the interview set up with an employee. I took some time off work to do the interview the following Friday. Spoke on the phone for about an hour... was asked to walk through my resume, why I wanted to leave my current position, my experience with qualitative vs. quantatative data.
Felt that I did extremely well on the interview, but towards the end when I inquired as to the next steps, I was told that the person whose team I was interviewing with was actually not hiring at the time (???????). The interviewer mentioned that I was a good fit for another position and that the notes from our interview would be forwarded back to the recruiter and that the recruiter would be in touch. I received an automated email the following Wednesday from the recruiter stating that I was no longer in the running for the position.
The recruiter that I worked with was not very timely in following up with me, so I did a lot of the leg-work just to get one phone interview.
