Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Compass Group.
Accountant
It was a complete waste of my time. First, I had a lengthy phone screen with a recruiter. Then, I had a virtual interview with the hiring manager. They mentioned they still had many other candidates to interview, but the job has been re-posted multiple times. I have no idea what or who they are searching for.
- Could you tell me about your strengths?
- What are your biggest weaknesses?
- In what ways are you a suitable candidate for this position?
Staff Accountant
Had a phone call with a recruiter who mentioned I might be a fit for another role. They called back a week later and set up a video call for a few days out with the hiring manager, their supervisor, and another teammate. They talked about their jobs, we talked about my resume, and then they asked about 15 behavioral questions. It was a really positive experience and I felt at ease throughout. The recruiter called soon after to offer me the position.
- Can you share an instance where you had to weigh several factors before making a decision and explain your thought process?
- In your opinion, what are the three most important traits for an employee?
- Regarding those three traits, which one do you excel at the most, and which one do you find most challenging?

Applied online and got an email the next day from a recruiter to set up a phone interview. I did research on the company and felt the phone interview went well. They make you take an accounting test, and if you pass, you move on to an excel test, and then I assume you get to do an in-person interview. I thought this process was unnecessary since the job said they'd consider new grads with good GPAs, and I fit that but still had to take the tests. The accounting test was 30 minutes with 25 questions, so you gotta be quick. I just graduated 2 years ago, but that didn't get me out of the excel test. A few days later, I got an email saying I was no longer being considered.
- What is your understanding of our company?
- Can you explain your initial interest in the healthcare field?
- Could you provide a brief self-introduction?
