I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NVR in Jul 2015
Interview
I attended an information session at one of their model homes, which consisted of a brief overview of the company and the position and then one-on-one meets with one of the managers at the model. Was then contacted by HR for a phone interview. After speaking with HR, I completed online behavioral and skills testing. About a week after that, I was called for a panel interview with 3-4 members of the management team. The panel interview consisted of three 1-hour interviews. I was contacted several times after the panel interview to provide more details of my previous work history and achievements. After all of that, I was offered the position and a background investigation was conducted. The entire hiring process took about two months, from the information session to my first day of employment.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a challenging customer/situation and how you handled it from start to finish. What was the outcome?
First there is a Personality test done online. Then an in person panel interview with three individuals primarily asking behavioral questions. Questions surrounded the main aspects of sales life: motivation, leadership, persuasiveness, stress, etc.
Relatively average process. Started with phone interview, then brought in for a couple different interviews. One with sales managers, then one with the president. Took a couple months before offer.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVR in Jan 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter, who I interviewed over phone with. Then a long online personality survey and was moved on to final interview with management.
Interview process is not unique and actually turned me off the job. I was not offered the job but would not have taken it had I been offered. Too many bad reviews on this position and the antiquated nature of the whole process and company concerned me. If you are going to take an all-commission position, take one that allows you to hunt and set your own quota so to speak. NVR caps commission and adjusts quotas constantly. Not worth the long hours and weekend requirements.
