I'm curious if we'll get any HR people to comment in on this.
The way I see it, the initial interview is the first step to weed through candidates. The interviewee may be looking to see if the person applying actually has the skills they list on their resume, are they actually interested in the role/company and if they are someone they can see working with in the future. Someone can be good on paper but if they are combative or aggressive, they may not be the best fit.
From an interviewee perspective, I'd say be honest, which has done well for me so far (even if I ultimately did not get the job).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
