What does it typically mean if a recruiter interview feels especially brief, doesn't give much information about the role from their end, and skips asking about things like salary requirements? I've had a couple like that recently, and both led to quick rejections, so I'm wondering if it indicates something about the opportunity or their hiring process. Thoughts?

It means recruiters are useless lol. No I'm jk, but I think that this is honestly the standard and at this point it's much more rare to find a good recruiter. I do think a more focused and dedicated recruiter might improve your chances of landing a role, but at the same time that's not always within your control. So just do your best with the situation. I don't think it necessarily means anything about the rest of the team or the culture.

Sometimes, it means your a perfect fit “ based on your resume”, needs to bring someone on right away. Oftentimes they cut through the basics, get right to the meat of it.

When that happens, I try to remind myself that not every door is meant to open. I take the quick rejections as redirection. It helps me stay focused on the roles where there's mutual interest and energy. And hey, sometimes a ‘meh’ interview just means I wasn’t their person, but that doesn’t mean I’m not someone else’s top pick.

I'd do this if a client was an exceptionally good or bad fit.
