Applied via LinkedIn. Received response within a couple of days. Went through lengthy phone interview with recruiter. It seemed positive -- both my skill set and work philosophies seemed to be a match.
Three days later however the recruiter got back to me and said "The Hiring Manager has reviewed your profile and notes from our discussion, and has decided that this particular role is not the ideal fit."
Not to nitpick but I probably have more experience than the hiring manager/guy leaving the post. Years of live implementations, instruction and mentoring on the subjects, writing white papers, etc. pretty much shows my ability.
