Like other reviewers mentioned, the types of questions they ask about are pretty irrelevant to the position. Teenage jobs and activities... it is very clear they have a set way of profiling their candidates to see if they will socially fit into the company vs actual qualifications. I played sports, worked since I was 16, good grades, degree in the field but still didn't get moved on to final stage. My only guess is that they didn't like the length of my current gap of employment.
The first call with a recruiter has you discuss jobs and extra curriculars going back to high school, why you left jobs, how much time in between, did you go directly to college after hs, how long did it take to graduate, etc. After that I went into the office (which is extremely beautiful!) to watch a 25 min video which went into further detail of the position and had a brief conversation with one of the sales managers after. I was moved on to the next step which was an in-person interview with one of the recruiters. Prior to this you have to fill out a form requiring you to list every single job you've had with dates and reasons for leaving, pretty much putting in writing the irrelevant details you ALREADY discussed on your first call. This interview went well, the woman and I really got along. We talked mostly about things we had in common, our relationships, but not much about my skills or the position (I would say 80/20 split). It's one thing to have commonalities with the person you are interviewing, but she talked about herself WAY too much. At the time, I thought it was a good sign and that must have meant she really liked me. The very next day I received the standard rejection email. I responded asking for feedback, but of course, nothing in return. There's no hard feelings on my end for not getting the job, but the way in which they interview shows a lack of interest and importance of candidates actual qualifications. The base and commission is extremely below industry standard, I am happy to have received an offer from another company where the base is double that of Houzz. Definitely wasn't meant to be.
