I applied online. I interviewed at CBRE in Apr 2026
Interview
Had a zoom call with the hiring manager about two weeks ago, had another call with a team of brokers a week and a half ago, and with another team last Wednesday. I’m going in this Wednesday to meet everyone and some additional people in person.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CBRE (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2012
Interview
First, there is a phone screening with the national HR department. Then another interview with the specific location office manager. Within a week after that, there is an online skill test that lasts 8 hours. Lastly, the team(s) you will be working with will interview you. All in all, it takes roughly 2 months to finalize the process.
Internal recruiter gives you a call. If it’s not a good time to talk, then they will schedule a time to do a phone screening. After that, they pass the notes to the hiring manager to schedule an interview with them. Then after that, you are rewarded with another interview with team members (producers, etc). After that, you’re rewarded with another interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CBRE
Interview
A recruiter reached out, then I met with the Operations manager, and then I went in person to meet the team. They really only pressed me about my Adobe experience.....and then the main broker said something about how his team is a "family," and that immediately did not feel genuine. The whole interview felt a little off, honestly.
