I applied online. I interviewed at Target in Feb 2026
Interview
Interviewed 4 rounds, was transparent each time about being available to start asap, looking for immediate employment etc. At the end of the 4th interview, I was told there was no opening for the role I was applying for, but they were willing to hire someone for the bench, but "only if they were the right fit," but they also were not in any hurry. I asked why this wasn't disclosed earlier, and they did not have an answer. A week after my final interview, I received an automated rejection letter. I would have hoped after 4 rounds of interviews, that I could have received personalized feedback regarding the decision, but I was not given that courtesy.

Question 1
How do you lead a team who have different opinions than you?
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Target in Sep 2018
Interview
I was excited for them to call me for an interview, as I love this brand. This was the second time I had a phone interview with a recruiter, then they went radio silent. Just like the first time, I tried to follow up on the status of my application, and never received a response. At least a generic email telling me I didn’t get the job would have been better than completely ignoring me. Not a very professional image to put forth to your candidates. I won’t ever waste my time applying here again. They clearly don’t care about how they treat applicants and it makes me wonder if they treat their employees the same unprofessional way. I would say this was a bullet dodged.

I applied online. I interviewed at Target (Sioux City, IA) in Dec 2024
Interview
Applied online. I received an email to choose an interview time based on the recruiter’s availability. Interview was a phone call. I was a little surprised it wasn’t a video interview. Recruiter was professional. I declined to go to next steps after I heard the schedule expectation.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Jul 2024
Interview
There was a minimum of 5 interviews which is way too much. You should know by a maximum of 3 interviews if the candidate is correct or not. I’d recommend revamping the process to allow for a better candidate experience.
