Kaiser Permanente interview questions

Kaiser has several roles with the same job title but at different seniority levels. I had applied to a role only to receive an automated email informing me that I didn't have the right skills for that role. I then applied to a role at a less senior level and received a reply for an interview. The meeting seemed to go well but at the end of our time, I was asked why I didn't apply to their senior level role. Then I was told they were still interviewing and will get back to me. It's been 8 weeks and the only update I have received is that they are still interviewing candidates. It seems disorganized if their screening system screens out qualified applicants and then don't consider moving forward when they actually meet someone for a role they are more than capable of doing.
