I know nothing about LEK but two weeks is barely any time, do you know how many applications firms receive and how few recruiters there are to deal with all of them?

UPDATE: For anyone curious, I just got a response back today from LEK recruiting stating that they have begun resume screening for full-time roles and one should expect to hear back within the next “few days” regarding next steps

Yeah for for an Associate role interview track, not interested anymore

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
