TTEC Business Development Representative (BDR) interview questions

A week after applying online a recruiter contacted me to set up a call. They were very enthused about me and set up a call with the hiring manager the following week, which I was told went well and would result in a 3rd and final interview. After chasing the recruiter for 2 weeks and being asked to provide my availability for the 3rd interview two different times, I was told they had elected to move forward with a different finalist. I could tell they were stringing me along before the recruiter gave me the bad news but I still felt blindsided and misled. I didn't appreciate being told I was still in consideration then finding out I was actually not. Overall the process was about a month which is too long to only have 2 interviews as well.
