Behavioral Technical

It started with three phone interviews. Then, I had a face-to-face with the operations manager. We talked a lot about my availability, which all depended on the owners opening the new branch. After those hurdles were cleared, the hiring process picked up speed and stayed on schedule. It was a bit awkward when the position was put on hold until the owner approved, but that was back when the branch was just starting to be planned.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The process was a bit different than others as we were part of a purchase of another company. The typical process is the posting of the job, the receipt of the resume, and if applicable a phone interview, a face to face interview, and an online assessment. The company is committed to personally reaching out to everyone that participates in the process from the phone interview on.

Behavioral Case

The interview process was pretty straightforward with direct questions. However, I was asked to outline a 90-day plan to fix a struggling branch, even though I wouldn't have had much info about its inner workings beforehand. I think any manager would need more details before making a quick decision.

Behavioral Presentation

I had a couple of phone interviews with two people, then got an email for a face-to-face interview. I was told to bring a 90-day plan for the role, which was a bit unexpected since I didn't know why the position was open or what challenges there might be. There were six people interviewing for the role. The main interview had me and four people from Clifford. It felt pretty relaxed, but they were really prepared and asked clear questions. You could tell it's a well-run company with a family vibe.
