Advanced Medical Recruiter interviews, decoded.

I did a pre-screen with a recruiter who was very nice and informative. After that, I was asked to come in for a second round interview with 2 managers from different divisions. They asked me questions about my experience, my comfort level with sales calls, and some scenario-based questions. I got a good feel for the job and am excited to start. I also got to shadow a recruiter and see their computer setup.

The interview process included a phone interview that lasted 30-45 minutes. Then there was a writing assessment, a personality test, and finally an in-person interview with a tour. The whole thing took about 3-4 hours. They ultimately decided not to offer me the job because they felt I didn't have enough recruiting experience, even though my resume clearly showed I had no prior recruiting experience and mostly sales experience.

Had a phone screening first, then some test questions, and finally a personal face-to-face interview. They shared a lot of info about possible problems, almost trying to discourage you from taking the job. Everyone was nice and made me feel welcome though.
