The Firm is a Stereotypical German firm which has a Lazy HR who conducts interviews by Hiring 3rd Parties like Optimum Search and escapes from proper Interview Process.

Firtly about SimonsVoss:
The Interviewer is someone who wants to split his role in to two and runs a so called IoT Lab.
He is in the firm for 25+ years and has people in his team/department for minimum 10 years maximum 20+ years.

Then the fundamental quesiton to the HR head and the Companies CTO/CEO:
Why does he need a person from outside to come and manage his split team?
Why can't he groom someone in his current reporting structure to take the role he is creating?
If he is goign in that direction why is he publishing positions and wasting everyone's time and Energy.
Answer from a Candidates point of view: These Managers just occupy positions prevent Internal growth or external hiring.

Poor principles: Just to add to the problem a lazy HR who rushes a round of interview and then leaves on long leave.
She didn't do justice to the Candidature of the external applicant and in her own suttle way supported the Stereotypical working method of Hiring Manager.

People like the Hiring Manager plague the German System. There is no cure for this sort of Poor leadership other than live with it.

About Optimum Search: Applicants should avoid them and directly apply to the firm.
If the firm had interviewed me directly they would have perhaps shown more respect. Optimus search only added a layer of dissrespect to the process.
Optimum Search is a waste of time for regular applicants. If you want to be submissive and bend to the Salary and Desingaiton Optimum offers then use them. They desperatly and deliberatly down play the CV. Ask meaningless quesitons in the filtering process and make a mess. They sound clever by asking quesitons about Embeded Sytems, but for one they neither convey the meanings or correctness of what you convey to them to the hiring team.
Several advanced firms use Algorithmic filtering, SimonsVoss uses Optimus Search and makes a furhter mess of it.

Due to some misscommincaiton someone within Optimus search re-submitted CVs and applicaiton documents to SimonsVoss and hence resulting in multiple rejects of a already rejected applicaiton.

Poor processess and approach of Interviewer/Hiring Manager was evident from step 1 of process, applicants should avoid this firm for these reasons.
