I applied online and the process took 5 days. First, there was a phone screening, followed by in-office interviews with 5 people. Then, I returned to the office for another round with 2 more people, had an additional phone interview, and finally a Skype call with someone overseas. The process was quite extensive, but everyone was extremely friendly and sincere. Most interviews were conversational, except the last one, which felt intimidating and caught me off guard. I wish the recruiter had shared more info about the types of questions expected. Ultimately, they chose a more senior candidate.
If your time to fill a position is typically 75 days, and the hiring manager says they need it filled in 40 days, what would you do?
I explained that I would start by analyzing current bottlenecks in the hiring process to find acceleration opportunities, communicate trade-offs to the hiring manager, consider alternative sourcing strategies, and possibly reallocate internal recruiting resources to meet the timeline. I emphasized realistic planning and clear communication.
