I applied online. I interviewed at ifm efector (Exton, PA)
Interview
Interview team was professional with exception of HR who tipped off my current employer that I was interviewing with ifm. I cannot think of a single reason why they found this appropriate and would expect a much higher ethical standard from an HR professional.
Do not recommend if currently employed
ifm efector requests a signed, release form from a candidate to conduct background and reference checks after they accept a job offer. There is no reason, and not our practice, to contact a current employer at any time during the hiring process unless requested by the successful candidate.
