I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Robert Half in Aug 2025
Interview
I got a cold call from one of their recruiters for a job with a raiting company(stocks). They had recently placed a person there who already got let go. I was told the interview would be a one 30 minute interview with the CTO. I was told they needed someone who was full stack but really it was for someone working on ETL database stuff. The interview was odd, i got asked one coding question and the rest of the time I felt like I was talked down to because I came from the banking industry. I was a little insulted as I have been in the IT industry for over 16 years. Then of course I can't get any response from the recruiter at Robert half. This is just another staffing agency who talks like they are your best friend and then ghost you.
Felt like a fake mock interview where nothing technical was really asked. Kind of a phishing attempt to jerk me around for many weeks without any results. Not sure if they really were truthful but it was a complete waste of time with sugar coated deception.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Literally no questions on the skill set. Just shooting the breeze as if wiling away the precious 30 minutes of an unemployed hopeful. Cruel and sadistic.
