The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cro Metrics in Jul 2024
Interview
I was eliminated after my first "deliverable" due to grammar issues. I reviewed it and it's nearly perfect. I also ran it through several Grammar and AI checkers and was reassured that while there are minor sytylistic choices that I could change, there are no grammar issues minor or major.
After being involved in the Slack channel and receiving this feedback and via others reviews, I am sure that I have dodged a bullet from this elitist corporation.
We are sorry to hear you had a negative experience. We appreciate the candid feedback, although we hate to hear anyone had a negative experience. Candid and clear feedback is a value and behavior we work to live by. Our hope is providing the reason for not moving forward in the process provides clarity in a process often unclear for applicants where you may receive no reason at all or a form email saying you are not moving forward. If there is something we can specifically do to help provide more helpful feedback during the interview process, we would be happy to connect live to discuss.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cro Metrics
Interview
Screening call with Talent Acquisition and then the Paid Interview process which took about 10 hours before mine ended. Interview stopped there, but you have the potential to keep going on your PI and then move on.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. If there is anything we can do to provide a more positive experience, we would welcome the feedback.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cro Metrics
Interview
I interviewed with CroMetrics a few years ago for a Program Manager position. The initial interview went well. I moved the next step which was considered a paid interview process. Each person I corresponded with during the process was wonderful, very professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the process was going to be fairly labor intensive. It was a 10-12 hour commitment over a 2-week period. I thought I could work it out around my full-time job but in the end I decided it was too much. I wasn't comfortable working elsewhere while trying to give my full attention to my regular job.
It's an interesting concept and I was certainly intrigued by the idea of getting paid for my time. I can understand why a company would want use that method to determine if someone is a good fit for the organization and the team, but I also can't see how you can be fully engaged during regular business hours, and participating in conversations over Slack, without your regular job suffering.
I had to politely withdraw myself from the process. Even then, the team I dealt with was very gracious and professional. I imagine they are a great organization to work for if you are able to devote the time to their hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions were focused around my current job as an account manager - size and value of my book of business, as well as my familiarity with Salesforce and Hubspot.
Thank you for your candid feedback. We are glad you had an overall positive experience. Your feedback was helpful. As we have reviewed our former paid interview process, we've made changes to make the process less time-consuming due to some of the concerns you shared above.
