Applied directly through company website with resume and initial screening questions. First interview: 30-45 min screening interview with the hiring manager asking technical and behavioral questions. Couldnt clear this round.

Contacted by a recruiter, who found me on LinkedIn. He asked if we could talk at some point about a position that he thought I would be a good fit for. We set up a time and talked over the phone for about 15 minutes. He explained a bit about the position, asked what my background is, and asked a few technical questions. Although he seemed to really like my background, it went downhill with the questions that he asked, which all focus on one aspect of the position (as described, at least). The questions were all phrased as "What is the difference between x and y?" He told me he would submit my info to a hiring manager and get back to me within a couple days. A week later I emailed asking what was up and mentioned that I would probably be a better fit for a different position. He replied that he hadn't heard anything, and that he would ping the hiring manager again (with no reference to my asking about a different position). Two weeks after that, I still hadn't heard back, presumably because they aren't interested in me. Upon contacting the recruiter again, his email address no longer existed, so he probably left.
