ClearOne Advantage Negotiator Interview Questions
& Process

Started with a quick phone call, then I went in person for another interview. The whole thing wrapped up in about a week, maybe a few days longer or shorter. They really like candidates who are driven, especially when it comes to earning potential. They asked me to talk about my past experiences and then went over the job details. They also appreciate it when you ask a lot of questions.

The interview process was pretty seamless. They'll give you a call to screen you with some questions about yourself and ask when you're available to come in. They're looking for people who are somewhat coherent and can use a computer and phone well. It's an easy interview; almost anyone can get a job as a negotiator here. Prior experience in collections is preferred.

The interview experience was pretty bad from the start. I usually check salary info before applying, and reviews suggested around 50k base with over 100k potential bonus/commission. But they said the base is $37500 and making six figures is really hard, only for top, long-term employees. That was strike one. Strike two was the interview with two women, Keisha and Carolyn. They were condescending and their expressions made it obvious they weren't really engaged or listening. They kept challenging my answers, which was weird. As someone who used to recruit, I almost ended the interview multiple times, but I tried to stay professional even though it was clear they weren't interested. I thought this job didn't require super specific debt negotiation experience, but they asked detailed questions about it and then acted like they were teaching me the answers, which felt hostile. It was the strangest interview in my 20+ year career. I could share more negative details, but it's not worth it. Even if they offered me the job, I wouldn't have taken it because working under those two women, who clearly had issues, would have been a nightmare. I'd never treat an interviewee like that and would always be respectful. Keisha even made a comment like 'even if you were to get the job...' which made me think it would be a toxic workplace. I wanted to leave immediately but respected their time. Save yourself the time and energy.
