Applied on-line, contacted by recruiter via email to schedule a date/time to speak. Very old-school approach (walk me through your resume), and then in her rush to describe the role in more detail, she let it slip that internal candidates had been identified, but tried to recover with "we are also interested in what someone from the outside could bring to us." STOP WASTING CANDIDATES TIME IF YOU ARE GOING TO FILL INTERNALLY. This is such a BS move. State "Strong Internal Candidate Identified" on your req.
