There's a recruiting firm in Dallas, TX that requires you to come into their office in order to apply for a position at one of their customers. What does this meeting consist of? A literal list of PII-based questions - nothing pertaining to the role. When I called them out on this they insisted that this is how, "their process and culture" works.

Also not to say this is how all recruiters work. I've spent enough time in the industry to know in 2 minutes or less if I'm talking to a decent recruiter.
