FlySmoother interview questions

Had what I thought was a good interview with the first screener, then was given an 8-day itinerary creation assignment. Not only did I complete the itinerary, I even provided alternative options for each element to account for a wide range of client tastes. The interviewer who reviewed it even said it was “perfect” and she couldn’t have done better. FlySmoother then ghosted me, rejecting me when I followed up. This has been a common experience among my other friends in the industry when applying to similar jobs. These travel start-ups post competitive salaries and positions to attract overqualified individuals, who then go on to build bespoke “sample” itineraries to be used by the start-up - either as an “off the rack” trip for clients, or as a training example for entry-level, and therefore “underpayable” candidates. Total scam.
