I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in May 2016
Interview
Started with a brief phone interview which went well. I received feedback the same day and was invited in for an on site interview. I met with 4 people for 30 minutes each. Total of 2 hours. Everyone was friendly but several questions were the same from the different interviewers. It would have flowed smoother were it a panel interview. Also, one interviewer who I connected the least withe still had some of his morning oatmeal stuck in his gross, hipster beard. It was awfully distracting. I honestly believe this is where my downturn began. I received no constructive feedback after the interview other than the timing was off. As a recruiting professional, I pride myself on demanding and providing detailed, honest feedback. The questions were mostly basic and it was difficult to come up with questions to ask them by the time the last interviewer finished. I don't know if anyone is prepared to have 8 or more questions to ask. Especially if some are asked and answered during the flow of the conversation.
Very unprofessional, they rescheduled 3 times and then just followed a script of questions. The script was uninteresting and soured me further on the whole position. Interviewer seemed like they didn't like their job much.
Initial informal phone screen (15 mins), followed by (30 min each) individual interviews with hiring manager, peer manager, and director. I heard back in about 1 week after the final interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the metrics you were held to in your past role and how you achieved them.
Over phone, about 10 questions. Standard enough. Talk through my recruiting process. Management experience . Sectors and roles recruited in. Levels of candidates, difficult roles, targets, length of recruitment cycle.
