Managers were genuinely interested in candidates
I didn't have one. I received a phone call offering me a job by my application.
I interviewed under a different ownership. Current employees in that position look to hire to meet their needs not the company as a department,
It went through a recruiter so there was a middleman in place
Time spent with the VP of HR and the hiring manager was very informative.
I swore multiple times and was hired on the spot
