Could probably be the way he did the interview.

may have rubbed some people the wrong way ?

I have interviewed some people that I would consider borderline cocky.

I dont give 2 shits about your talking skills nor your leadership qualities. displaying them and talking about it too much is 2 different things.

If all you talk about is the prestige of working in a big named mnc and being a leader, you dont show the skills of being a worker / trainee.

could be cause of that. I have turned down many applicants who were too cocky for their own good. Like outright, told hr, never to hire in a million years.

academics checkout, personality nope.

The question is what have you been doing in your current interviews and how to change it up so that you are more hire friendly.
