Anyone else see a big red flag when a screener call is with someone below the hiring manager who asks scripted, pointed questions from your potential boss, takes notes, and decides who goes to the hiring manager for review? Or is this the new normal?

Had another a few months back, and found out from credible sources I dodged a toxic bullet.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's an immediate deal breaker, but it does give me pause when something like that happens. That being said, it seems that these job interview processes are getting longer and more ridiculous than ever, so I do think it's becoming a bit more normalized. Glad you dodged the bullet, though!

They will usually send the screener to the HM to assess. I’ve worked with recruiters in this way, too many candidates to screen and they provide me with the rundown so I can decide who will be a good fit. Don’t sweat it, you’re capable for the role which is why you got the call.

Ok, that’s good to know! And I got a callback for a second interview so I guess I’m less worried now. 😊
