I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I had a positive experience. The Sourcing Manager reached out to me directly to expand her team. She was passionate and personable. My phone screen with her was a delight! After my chat with her, I had interviews with a fellow sourcer and recruiting partners. Everyone was amazing!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a variety of soft skills questions and talent acquisition questions. There were also questions regarding stakeholder management and project impact.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview with the recruiter, then interview with the hiring manager, if that goes well you'll move to a final round with 4 one on one interviews with the hiring manager (this one will be a live case), two of their peers and a principal sourcer.
Keep in mind that their sourcing model is around pipeline management, they are a very data-driven team and use market information and historical data like time to fill, so it's a very strategic role.

multi-processed group interviews with group assignments to assess how people contribute, interact, delegate and share with one another. Often times the group of five or more individuals were given a problem or task and set to their own devices while the interviewer watched the conversation and chimed in periodically with thoughts or ideas
