I mean, not parent commenter, but I'd expect, y'know, the recruiter to actually remember giving the exact same preliminary interview to the same candidate a week earlier.

Was it the same interviewer? Maybe there are 10 interviewers going off the same script.

Interviewer 1 called OP and asked questions. Then it was lunch time and he forgot to put result in the CMS.

So the same guy popped up a week later to Interviewer 2. He was reading off the same script, so of course his questions are the same. Not his fault, or Google's per say - Interviewer 1 happened to forget a step. (Which is sad, but we all make mistakes!)

> I felt I should tell him that he asked me these questions before.

The way it was phrased implied that it was the same person (would have otherwise been "I had been asked these questions before")
