Achievers (formerly I love Rewards), uses a three phase interview process that consists of a group interview followed by a skills interview and if you're lucky enough, a topgrading interview.
The topgrading interview is very indepth and it took two full hours for me.
The company really wants to get the right people in the right positions. I was originally applying for a position that Achievers deemed not to be the best fit for my skills and they believed, as a result, I would become disengaged after the inital honneymoon was over. However, they wanted to find a position for me. Generally when I hear this from a company, I think it is just a nice way to let someone down.
Turns out that I stayed in contact with the company and a position enveutally opened up that I was well suited for and it seemed to have great opportunity for growth.
In my situation, I ended having a total of five interviews. This is not the norm but I didn't mind coming back time after time because I really enjoyed speaking with the recruitment staff, managers and directors at Achievers.
I think the recruitment process of a company is a good indication of how highly they value their employees. The best job experiences I've had in the past were won after very tough recruitment processes. Achievers is one of these companies and I'm very happy to be a part of the team.
