IHG Hotels and Resorts interview questions

I had a first round call with a recruiter and due to some technical issues we had to reschedule and he was very understanding. I did receive a rejection email and I followed up but he reassured me it was a mistake. We had a lovely call, he was friendly and kept me in the loop of the decision making. However, again I received an automated rejection email before being told I was not progressing to the next step, which was a shame.
