Adelaide interview questions

Like other Marketing candidates have mentioned, the process felt pretty straightforward and the conversations felt like they flowed naturally and were ultimately productive. After interviewing with a junior HR employee, the CEO, and then finally the Creative Director I was ultimately told that they were "moving forward with other candidates whose experience and skills more closely watch what we are looking for." I was disappointed to get such a shallow rejection given the tenor of the conversation and the fact that my skills and experience aligned so closely with the job description. I respect the company's decision, but can't help but feel like the interview process was performative and may have been a way to source marketing ideas from qualified candidates.
