The internal recruiter usually knows very little about the actual role and exists only to sell you to other teams. They are usually contractors, and could not care less about how candidates actually do as they themselves have no job incentives that align properly. They'll line you up with positions that make no sense, they'll ignore any advice or opinions you might have, and are not technically skilled at all. If the interview goes south at any point, the candidate is to blame for not hitting the bar. Your happiness is not a factor, they have literally hundreds of resumes with your same skill set. I once had a recruiter try to line me up with a javascript position when I had java experience, not understanding the difference. You have to really police their behavior and almost babysit them, otherwise you get situations like this.
