Interview
It was supposed to be a Facetime interview, but the iPads at their office weren't working so it was a phone conversation. I took some MS Office tests they sent me from the comforts of my home, then went into their office for an in-person meeting.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Half in Jul 2025
Interview
Virtual interview with recruiter who was friendly & seemed willing to work with candidates of finding roles.
2nd virtual interview was with a toxic person demanding in office everyday, willingness to commute 50 miles…all while she showed up to our meeting wearing a T shirt! She then demanded to know where else I had applied/interviewed, the exact amount I was making at my current job & made it clear that they felt threatened by the most meager of salaries.
The interview process with Robert Half was professional and straightforward. It involved an initial phone screening, followed by a skills assessment and a one-on-one interview to evaluate my qualifications and experience.
