Watts Water Technologies

They advertised a senior graphic designer position in November 2016. This job had a lot of requirements and a list of "nice to haves" that included Articulate Storyline (I met *all* of these requirements). I heard nothing until three months later (February 2017) when they contacted me and scheduled me for a telephone screening. The call, like most telephone screenings, was brief, bland, and unenlightening. I asked some design questions about their website (which looked seriously dated), she said there were "plans" to redo it, along with a long list of other projects that were "planned." The call ended with her saying the next step would be an in-person interview. I never heard from them again (didn't even get a rejection email). Ten months later, in December 2017, they advertised the exact same job again. I still find it rather bizarre that I didn't "qualify" for the in-person interview considering that I met every qualification including the more obscure "nice to haves." When a person with twenty years of direct experience doesn't "qualify" for a real interview, then you know there's something else going on.
