I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at GSP Companies in Feb 2024
Interview
Third party headhunter contacted me and asked if I was interested in an AM role. The reviews are rough, but I took the convo to see.
My initial conversation with the AD was great! Very promising, encouraging, LOVED my experience. I didn’t get a sense of the bad comments from this person at all.
Note: I was asked if I can commute to an office, but the role is remote. I said yes, I can commute to an office - thinking that I’d be going to one place semi regularly. This position actually involves driving ~500 miles a week in my personal vehicle, without reimbursement, compensation, or a company car.
Next convo involving training was not so pleasant. This person has all the traits of the bad reviews, and gives you attitude immediately. When I asked questions, they were judged and dismissed and I was treated as if I am lazy - I was asking if 55hrs/week is expected normally. I asked about the mileage requirement and was told we could work on it, but was sarcastically asked if “I expected a chauffeur to the airport too?”
My car is 15 years old, I’ve been underemployed for months. I need a job, I’m happy to use my car, but my car can’t handle that kinda mileage right now. I need some kind of compensation, reimbursement, or rental for the mileage they wanted. I was honest about that and firmly believe that’s why I didn’t get the job.
I knew at that point that it wasn’t looking good. I’m VERY qualified for this role. Company and recruiter blew me off after that, lol.
Advice to management: please reconsider the key people in your candidate experience.

Question 1
Do you have a car?
What’s your experience in production?
I interviewed with a recruiter out of Florida shortly after I applied for the position. She asked me some very general questions surrounding what I felt the role of Account Manager should be. She indicated, she was very interested in me and would email the hiring manager so him and I could meet. Several weeks past and I received an email from the recruiter asking if I was still interested in the position and to call her. I called, she didn't even remember talking to me weeks before, then it clicked with her. She asked had I met with the hiring manager and I said, "no". She said she would get on him and get a meeting. It never happened!! Even though the claim was made they were in need of getting the position filled ASAP.
With our growth this year we have been on quite a hiring spree. We strive to make every candidate experience a positive one and apologize that yours was not. You are encouraged to re-engage with us for further consideration.
