Interview questions [1]
Question 1
your past experience, how many managers do you support, how quickly can you fill roles
I was surprised at how casually a team of recruiters took an interview with a fellow recruiter. Given that I did not receive an offer, I suspect the decision to not move forward was made early because my interviewers showed a very clear lack of interest in what I had to say. One even spent most of the interview sending messages on his phone.
Panel of 5 interviews, all virtual and one to one. Each had a different theme, my recruiter prepped me in advance. Looking for candidates to use the STAR method and discuss past experiences.

Started with a recruiting message, followed by a phone screen with the recruiter to talk through the role, expectations, and gauge overall interest and alignment. Then moved to a virtual onsite with 3 additional team members.
