I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bancsource (Springfield, MO) in Feb 2016
Interview
I was contacted by the SVP of Sales and conducted an over-the-phone interview. A few weeks later I came to the companies headquarters in Springfield, MO to participate in four separate face to face interviews. Bancsource gave me a tour of their brand new facility and shared their vision with me. Bancsource is bringing in great people to help them grow to be the best company they can possibly be. The people I had direct contact with on my interview possessed great energy and passion for the company. I believe that Bancsource is headed in the right direction and would be a great team to be a part of.

Question 1
They wanted to know what type of experience I have
They wanted to get a good feel for my work ethic and character. It was very important to Bancsource to make sure that I was the right fit for their team.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bancsource (Springfield, MO) in Mar 2016
Interview
Initial contact was through a head hunter and handled very professionally. Had the opportunity to visit the Company headquarters in Springfield and meet with the executive team. The CEO has put together a solid team with years of experience in the business and are backed by a board of directors who also have decades of experience. They genuinely excited about the opportunity. Several who had been there before the purchase spoke of the complete change in attitude and the new found excitement for the future. Their enthusiasm was very contagious.
My only recommendation would be to spread the process over a longer period. I would have liked the opportunity to spend more time with the team. Perhaps spend the night and have dinner. When interviewing for such a demanding and challenging situation you need to feel comfortable with the culture and team dynamic. The formal interview process makes that difficult.
