I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at iCIMS
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for the same position I have now, just in a different industry. After a quick peek at strong Glassdoor reviews, I agreed to move forward. I spoke with the recruiter who informed me there was a video-proctored test I needed to take as a next step.
I took the quiz (which was fairly math-heavy). The recruiter then asked to schedule another 30-minute call. The call was about 2 minutes, where I was asked to take the test again to “strengthen my candidate profile.”
At that point, I was being asked to set aside time from my current job for a fourth time (first phone screen, first test, speaking with the recruiter on the phone to be asked to re-take, second test) before I could speak with anyone I’d actually be working with about the actual job.
I’m assuming I didn’t score as high on the test as they’d have liked, probably missing the math questions. The role had nothing to do with math, and my experience and past accomplishments were above their minimum requirements on the posting. They had also recruited me; I didn’t apply. I felt like whatever my score was meant more than my actual job experience, and I wasn’t even allowed to learn about this role until I passed an unrelated test.
I then looked at the Glassdoor reviews more closely. It seems they are a bit skewed by the fact that there’s either a mandatory or strongly encouraged point after your first 90 days to leave a review. With all of this, I informed the recruiter I wouldn’t be moving forward.
Plusieurs entretiens pertinents avec les équipes et managers. En français et en anglais. Tout était très rapide a chaque fois. Les feedbacks étaient constructifs. Je n'ai rien de particulier a signaler a part que tout s'est passé de la meilleure des façons.
The interview process was efficient and quick and all of the interviewers were respectful and asked thoughtful questions, but the background check and offer specifics dragged on a bit longer than expected.
