      Recruiter Interview

      Feb 6, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Actalent in Jan 2023

      Interview

      I applied through their website and a recruiter reached out to me shortly after. We spoke on the phone for about 15 minutes and had a great back and forth conversation. Just discussed the basic qualifications, and my educational and work experiences. After that she scheduled me for an interview with the hiring manager almost 2 weeks later. That was fine, I really liked this company initially, so I waited with no problem, and prepared all the STAR questions I could think of. The hiring manager was more than 30 minutes late to our call. That was already a bad sign. Our call went great though, she said I was a terrific candidate, however, she told me the company wasn’t looking to onboard anyone for about a month so they would reach out to me in 2-3 weeks time to set up an interview with a director. I said alright no problem. A week later, I get an email from my recruiter saying they decided to proceed with more qualified candidates. What? This is an entry level role and I was extremely qualified. AND I thought you weren’t hiring for another month?? There was no specific feedback at all. They didn’t even give me a chance to speak to the director like the Hiring Manager promised. I’m actually glad now, feel like I dodged a bullet. Thank god I didn’t decline my other opportunities for this. Don’t get discouraged if they do this to you, there’s way better talent acquisition agencies out there anyways, believe me.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Actalent (Burnaby, BC) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      It was a long interview process that took over a month and consisted 2 phone screens, a zoom meeting and half day in the office. I was really looking forward to trying recruiting so I was actually pretty excited but alas I did not get an offer. I am pretty skeptical on how good your chances are if you do make it to the half day because I don’t actually think they NEED to hire anyone. My advice would be expect it to be a lengthy process and to give it a 50/50 chance to be hired. Also it had a little bit of gym team/sorority vibe like it seemed like they wanted to keep you out of their clique. It wasn’t a negative experience, it just turned out to be a waste of time and Im still not sure if they were ever actually interested. The one positive experience was the internal recruiter I dear with was extremely nice and professional And never made me feel uncomfortable. I am going to be less naive when interviewing with other staffing companies.
