The most long, drawn out, and unnecessary interview process ever! I was recruited by a head hunter to interview with Credible. After submitting my resume I first had to record a video where I introduced myself and described my skill set (that was a first). The second step was a phone interview with one of Credible's talent acquisition reps (she had no clue about the position and had only worked at the company for 2 months). The phone interview was easy and I answered the normal questions about my work history, education, and answered a couple behavioral situation questions. The third step was the strangest part of the interview process. They required that I do a comparative analysis between 3-5 contract management systems (3 pages typed), write a business letter to a "partner" threatening termination of the contract if payment was not received (very strange I know), and finally write a memo on how I would improve scalability through the contract management process. I completed all the requested assignments which took valuable time to complete that I could have been applying to other jobs with more reputable companies. I received positive feedback on my written work and my video/phone interviews. The last and final step was to come in for a "hiring event" where I would meet with a hiring manager. This is when it went straight down hill. I arrived at the hiring event as advised. When I get there they have some food and other candidates are there to interview. The CEO was supposed to conduct the presentation but he was unavailable so the VP did it instead. I had read the horrible reviews on here before interviewing and I knew they were accurate because of the sheer volume of negative reviews. Not to mention the fact that senior management clearly has someone from HR writing positive reviews on their behalf, even tho its blatantly obvious that its written by the same person, because they're always anonymous and no one finds them helpful. However, despite all the negative reviews I had to see for myself what the company was about. Now, I regret wasting my time. I interviewed with the VP and she was exactly as described in the many negative reviews. To say she was aloof would be complimenting her. She barely made eye contact through the entire interview and played on her phone and computer as I was answering the strange questions she had asked me. For example, who's your super hero? Are you a nice person? Who's your villain? None of the questions she asked me had anything to do with the actual job which gave me the impression that she either did not know what a contract analyst does or was just going through the motions. After writing papers, letters, doing video interviews, and phone interviews it seemed that it all came down to whether or not the VP liked me or not. The interview only lasted about 10 min. Most of the time I was looking at the top of her head and she did not smile through out the entire process, yet she had the gull to ask if I was a nice person. I walked out of the interview shaking my head, knowing I would not receive an offer and I was fine with that. The whole vibe throughout the entire hiring process seemed dubious and underhanded. I honestly think upper management used the paper I wrote as a learning tool for themselves because the VP asked me where did I get the information for the comparative analysis, as if to question its authenticity. I would not recommend anyone spend the time going through their ridiculous hiring process only for the final decision to come down to a VP who seems to not have a clue what the job entails or how it affects the rest of the organization. MOST HORRIBLE INTERVIEWING PROCESS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.
