The recruiter was 15 minutes late and didn't bother to email, then when they came on the phone they started to talk to someone else while I was in the middle of speaking, clearly not listening and then not apologizing for the interruption, asking me 3 questions with barely any interaction, and then never spoke to me again. It was a consultant, so it was clear they were not engaged in the work and did not care about the interview at all.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at IntraHealth International (Nairobi) in Nov 2017
Interview
Formal, in person led by the technical lead and HR and the questions were structured using a questionnaire, which was scored at the end of the interview. The questions were relatively standard to the position
Interview questions [1]

Understanding of how government systems in health work
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IntraHealth International (Nairobi)
Interview
A panel of 3; 2 technical staff and 1 HR. Unfortunately, the interview lead kept cutting me off when I was speaking, and she seemed distracted, even getting on her phone and ignoring me altogether at some point. The other 2 members of the panel seemed embarrassed about their colleague and seemed to overcompensate with unnaturally bright smiles, cheer and encouragement (to me), but it looked like the lead interviewer - who was that department's director - was the end-all, so we were now all just going through the motions.
