      Functional Consultant Interview

      25 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bolton, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ellucian (Bolton, England) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      This company wasted my time. I submitted my CV and then they interviewed by phone twice. I made it clear that I did not have direct experience of their software but outlined how I could learn this and had a great deal of experience which would make me suitable for the role. They agreed to take me forward to interview, but then phoned back 5 days later and I explained that as I did not have the experience necessary I was not an interviewable candidate. This was information they had on my CV right from the very start of the process. Very poor application of HR principles.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ellucian

      Interview

      Interview process took a few weeks. It started with a phone screening with a recruiter. I then had additional phone interviews, one with a senior level consultant and then one with the center manager. Interview questions focused on personality and ability to handle difficult situations.

      Functional Consultant Interview

      22 Oct 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ellucian in Jan 2016

      Interview

      The recruiter I worked with was great. She was very efficient and on the ball. However, this process was beyond RUSHED. Within a week, I had 3 phone calls with 3 different people and a job offer. They wanted an answer within 24 hours. It was very rushed. There was no video or in person interview, it was all done by phone. While I appreciated the efficiency, I learned a lot from this process. It is more important for it to be done slowly and ensure a fit on both sides. Also, from the time I accepted the interview until I started (about 3 weeks later), one of the 3 people I spoke to had left the company, another had moved into a different role, and another had nothing to do with the role I was hired for. I inherited a new manager, who I had never spoken with. Since the people I spoke with were not involved in my day to day as an employee, everything I was told during the interview process was not the case. It was not a good experience. As I said the recruiter was great, efficient, helpful and on the ball. After accepting I was paired with an "onboarding" person to assist with getting everything done before starting. This person was not helpful and acted annoyed when asked questions. That should have been my first sign. This was a terrible experience, but I learned a lot of lessons from it. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Maitland Florida is a hell hole.
