I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona) in Sep 2019
Interview
The whole process was disappointing and absolutely not professional. Recruiters for the DACH market are based in the US in a different time-zone.
Imagine you get a LinkedIn Message from a Recruiter of Gartner. You schedule a time for a call, with a Senior Recruiter, then she can not make it so instead i had a call with a Sourcer of her. After i finished this call i had a one hour call in the next days with her, the Call-Quality like the same in the first call was miserable, i almost couldnt understand them. We finished the call with a good feeling what she told me so far, so she will now put me to the next step. Same day on LinkedIn i receive a message from exactly this recruiter from US i had some hours before a one hour call with, a message where she asks me like out of the blue if i would like to work for Gartner. I told her we are already in contact - on this received no answer. Instead i receive a new message where she invites me to a language verification call. The funny thing, its a language verification call for my native language, she invites me to a call where someone verifies my native language. The call obviously went very well... I was waiting after that for the invitation for the next step as promised, but instead i receive a refusal through the platform Workday.
This whole process was disappointing and absolutely not professional.
First round HR screening. Second round detailed personality analysis interview. Third round manager interview to ask about experience and motivations. Last round panel interview with presentation to describe why you're a good fit. Strong emphasis on personality fit.
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
