I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY)
Interview
I am happily employed with a great Fortune 100 company but I got a LinkedIn recruitment message from Charles “Charlie” and his professionalism and passion for Compass intrigued me. So I took an interview, a bit reluctantly. I ended up continuing through a few rounds of interviews because my interest in their mission and their brand just kept growing. They have a top notch product and organization and Charlie was AWESOME to work with. He returned all my calls and emails promptly. He coached me and answered my questions and he gave terrific advice.
From the get-go I was reluctant to go back into sales as I am transitioning into operational management at my company. And in the end, the hiring team agreed that I probably wasn’t a good fit but I wasn’t upset about it at all. In the end, I got to me meet some very intelligent and tenured professionals and I learned a lot about Compass in the process!
I’d recommend this process to anyone. Thanks for a great experience, Charlie!

Question 1
I was asked to role play a sales pitch. They want you to be absolutely excellent in your pitch!
Felt similar to another SGM interview I read on Glassdoor. Had one call with recruiter and felt like I was just a number to boost number of people interviewed for the position.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
I was told it was a 4-5 interview process. I completed an introductory interview with the main recruiter for the department. He prepped me for the second interview. I was prepared to speak very specifically about the requirements of the position but unfortunately the head of the department did not ask me anything about my knowledge of the product and steered the conversation away from it when I attempted to display how my experience would fit the position. I wasn’t offered a second interview despite being uniquely qualified.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Compass in Apr 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me several times. On our call she immediately prefaced the call with "Well this wont take long at all" and sounded like she was speed reading through a job description. Then she asked to learn a little about my background. After I shared about my bg, no questions were asked and was told that she will share the information with the hiring people and will get back to me. I don't even think I was able to say Bye as she hung up so quick. I've been in recruiting and staffing for many years and this was the most unprofessional recruiter I've spoken to. She sounded impatient and just trying to get her numbers in. I was honestly so shocked.

Question 1
No questions were asked about me, what I'm looking for, no follow up questions on my experience, background, etc. It was a complete waste of my time, but at least it wasn't a 30 min call because she was right - it didnt take long about a 9 minute phone call.
