      Human Resources Generalist Interview

      Jan 8, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at HMSHost (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      I did a phone screening for the Seattle/Tacoma location, and was told that I would receive a phone call from the manager the following week, at a schedule time. I never received a phone call. I called and emailed the guy that did the phone screening, he failed to reply. On 1/7/16, I received an email from him, stating that I had not been selected for the position. Poor communication. I applied prior to Thanksgiving. I am disappointed with their follow through, it would have been courteous to have been informed that they were going to reschedule my phone interview.

      Human Resources Generalist Interview

      Jun 3, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HMSHost in May 2025

      Interview

      The interview process itself followed a fairly standard structure. However, each time I followed up for an update, it appeared that my application had been misplaced, and I never received any further communication afterward.

      Can you describe a time when you had to handle a complex employee relations issue? What steps did you take, and what was the outcome?

      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at HMSHost

      Interview

      I went through 4 interviews and a final walk through. Very time consuming, overall a negative experience. Would never go through that many interviews again for a single employer! After your second interview, if they don’t make a choice, I suggest you decline
