Bullhorn Project Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I went through 6 interviews over four weeks for a project manager role, starting with an AI interview, then a phone screen, a personality test, a manager interview, two peer interviews, and finally a VP interview. It felt way too long and repetitive, with many approval levels and peer reviews, which seemed like a lot for a flat org. I usually don't do more than three rounds, but I saw this one through. Everyone was nice and professional though. They seem to know exactly who they're looking for, so if you're that person, you'll fit right in. Luckily, I'm already employed and just looking around, so I wasn't too bothered by the time commitment. If I wasn't, I'd have been super annoyed about the wasted time.

I got a message on LinkedIn from Bullhorn for a remote Senior PM role. First, I spoke with HR for about 20-25 minutes. Then, over the weekend, I did some online personality and aptitude tests. A few days later, I had a phone interview. After that went well, the hiring manager set up another 30-minute call. After I agreed to move forward, they invited me to Boston for an on-site interview and handled all the travel. I flew out Sunday, stayed in a hotel near their office. Monday was the on-site, with three separate 30-minute interviews. It felt a bit short given the travel, but the people were nice and the conversations were good. They said I'd get feedback by the end of the week. I flew back that afternoon. Two interviewers encouraged me to ask more questions. One finally responded Saturday with a partial answer and a 'good luck on your career.' Since I hadn't heard from HR, I figured it was a no. I followed up Monday, and Wednesday they called to say I wasn't a good fit. Overall, it was a good experience, though I'm not sure the visit was necessary as it could have been done remotely. It was nice to see the office and meet people though. Seems like a good company.

The process was unprofessional. I completed an assessment test, had a call with the recruiter, another call with the hiring manager, an in-person assessment, and then several hours of interviewing on site. After all that, I heard nothing for a month, and still haven't heard anything. The recruiter was also slow to respond to emails. It was disrespectful to take time off work for this. There were red flags from the start; the role was new, and the three people I interviewed with had different ideas about its purpose, showing a lack of preparation. While the hiring manager was great, one interviewer was rude, arrived 15 minutes late, admitted they hadn't read my resume, interrupted me, called me an assistant (for a PM role), and repeatedly asked for my current manager's contact info even after I explained I was employed and didn't want my manager contacted. This interviewer was so off-putting I knew I wouldn't want to work with them. Initially, the company seemed like a good fit, but based on this experience, the recruiter's handling of the process, and how salary and benefits were ignored, I don't think it would have worked out. They seemed unsure of what they needed, and the month-long silence after the interviews, even just to reject me, was very unprofessional.
