I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page in Nov 2022
Interview
TLDR: I got ghosted in the end, even though I followed up and asked for feedback I had a phone interview and was friendly at the start, chatting about previous experiences, but the questions started to get more demanding afterwards. Nothing wrong with the increasing difficulty, and nothing rude happened during the call. Just that some questions were asked in a tone where he sounds superior to you. (This is a personal feeling, may be a bias) Mentioned would arrange a video interview tomorrow but nothing happened. Followed up on the updates and got seen. Expected didn't pass the first interview stage even though promised and asked for feedback. Still got seen. Maybe it's a reflection of the over-sales-driven culture where they only bother to talk to you if you can benefit them?

Question 1
Why Michael Page? It's very sales driven, are you ok? Why don't you go back to your previous role and industry? (With a superior tone)
Overall good experience. Got to meet nice and professional people during interview process. It started with a zoom call, meeting different members of the team and the last stage in person at the head office.

The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had a final round interview with a man named Sean Puddle. He told me I wasn't a good fit because I was from Long Island and likely had family money, so I wouldn't be hungry enough for this sales role.
Sean is now at Robert Walters, and I'm sure he's been the same jerk there.
