Countingup interview questions

I recently had the opportunity to interview with Countingup for the CCO role. Overall, my experience could have been better. At a job fair, I first had an informal chat about the company and the role with two of the Countingup staff. After that, a phone interview with their HR. The next stage was a video call with their CEO/Co-Founder. All was good to this point, everyone proved caring and interested, and the process was fluid. After that last interview, I was moved into the next stage, a take-home task. I committed to delivering a comprehensive task (thorough go-to-market plan) within a relatively short period. The result was a detailed 24-slide deck. Unfortunately, a few days later, I received a rejection email, a generic template from an ATS (Greenhouse), so they did not bother to provide any feedback or input. I followed up with them to get some feedback (as I have put considerable effort into delivering a tailored plan for Countingup). The contact person was understanding, yet despite the follow-up promise of feedback, this never arrived. It was clear to me that Countingup did not value my time or efforts. They failed to provide any meaningful feedback or communication, which is a red flag for any job seeker, as they might not care about people when these become disposable.

Countingup approached me through Linkedin to discuss the role and set up a screening call with me. During the call, I was asked whether I was a UK-qualified solicitor and when I explained that I was not, I was told that the interview could not continue as this qualification was a "must" for the role. I asked why I was approached knowing that I was not qualified in the UK. Apparently, some candidates did not include this information on their Linkedin profiles, therefore they wanted to ask about it during the interview. However, they could have checked this with me ahead of setting up an interview. This interview wasted my time as I prepared for it quite a lot however, I didn't get the chance of having the full interview. Since I am still working in a full-time job and do have deadlines and a lot of meetings, I do not appreciate how this workplace wasted my time.
