My guess, you were not fast enough? Imagining myself as a recruiter, I would probably be working with a fair number of leads at the same time. Any of those who are a good fit and quick to respond would get sent to HR.

My recent job I landed because I was pushy, I called the recruiter by phone and sold them on me, got the contact for the company manager, called them too and got hired. I got decent technical skills, but talking to people is what gave results.

Just one thing, "talk the talk, walk the walk" is real. Bullsh*ting will put you in a bind sooner or later.



I'm not sure what part of the story I just described was "bullshitting."


I didn't mean you were, I just said that talking to people is effective but some take it up a level where it likely ends badly.


They were making a comment on the general case, not your specific case
