I applied online and then I got approached by the recruiter. Very friendly and professional in handling the interview. They replied within the established window frame. I've heard that most interviewers ghost you so I was glad it was not the case.

Question 1
What was my experience, why did I want to work for them, what things I felt like I needed more training.
I met with them at the end of 2025 after hearing about a vacancy through a recruiter. This process took over a month and I subsequently found out they had offered the role to another candidate who had declined.
I felt the interview was a positive experience but neither myself nor the recruiter have heard anything back from them since.
