I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Brookfield, WI) in Oct 2015
Interview
I sat for an initial interview after being contacted by a hiring recruiter. The interview itself was very easy, about one hour in length, no challenging questions were asked. I was surprised to learn that the interviewer had only been with the company for 4 months, and that they had at least three agents training at that location. The hiring process is this: initial interview with the HR manager, then you are asked to complete an online application if they think you are a good fit, after processing the online application (7-10 days with the cresit and background check), they contact you for a second interview with the District Manager. If the second interview goes well they offer you a training position where you can get licensed and learn their selling principles.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group
Interview
Online screening, two video calls, background check, four paragraph assignment that is esentially another application with basic questions like: describe your history, how does your experience transfer to the role, how do you market yourself, why do you want to work here (standard questions really). However, my interviews felt more like interrogations and manipulation. I was described and rated on my intelligence based on my screening, and the interviewer was weird. They made multiple comments that were jabs at my experience and my personality; I don't need validation because I know what I bring to the table, but it felt like the interviewer was trying to put me down and convince me that I was lucky to have made it that far in their process. Needless to say, I will not be accepting the position especially since they also want you to pay for your own background check that you only get reimbursed for on condition. In this job market, I don't know who is paying for the mere chance they might get a job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe your history, how does your experience transfer to the role, how do you market yourself, why do you want to work here? As well as more personalized questions/statements that I was too empathetic in my screening and they would like for me to be more 'pushy'.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Denver, CO) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process began as a phone interview and proceeded to a face-to-face interview. The process was more of a dialogue than a firm list of questions. The tone was more probing than testing capabilities.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2024
Interview
They try to sell you the job, It's almost insulting around $30k salary? Who is this job for? It's a scam. Not even a teenager should work for that little for a job like this. Also waste of time 2 interviews.
