Cator Ruma interview questions

I was contacted initially by a recruiter. The interview took place at the Lakewood location and was not too formal. It went well until I was ambushed at the end by them saying because they didn't want to pay the recruiting fee they would probably be pursuing other candidates. Also had a slightly unprofessional conversation about their personal gripes with this particular company and specific recruiter. After two months I never heard a definite no and only knew they had likely moved on because the recruiter reached out with another opportunity.
