The interview process was long, was very limited in addressing the applicant’s skills and accomplishments, and was overall a waste of time. What started off as an Easy Apply on LinkedIn was followed by a list of 13 “screening” questions, some of which required detailed responses that were better reserved for a phone or in-person conversation. This could take upwards of an hour or more if you put any thought into your responses. If the answers to these questions are acceptable, you then move on to a call with the contracted recruiter who happens to married to the president of the company. You are presented with “attention to detail” exercises during the video call which mainly investigate if you can form a coherent email and if you can analyze data from a chart without any supporting information on the numbers. If you are able to use your years of experience to successfully proof read an email, you are given yet another online personality assessment. With the stipulation that there are no incorrect answers, this test took around 30 minutes to complete. At this point the total time invested is a good 3 hours before you get an actual interview with the hiring manager. Nothing was ever discussed about background, qualifications, skill set, or anything remotely related to the specific job applied for, but somehow they found a candidate whose experience better aligned with the role. Instinctually, I should have stopped the process once I was presented with the 13 screening questions, but the job seemed like a good fit. Ultimately, my time would have been better spent taking a walk around the neighborhood or getting some ice cream; both of which would have been more productive. And no, I did not proof this review before posting so please excuse any grammatical errors.
