Behavioral Presentation
A recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin about joining their Corporate Recruitment team. I did my research and was interested because Compass is an amazing company doing big things! We set up a time to chat. She gave me an overview of the company and the role and asked me about my current job situation. Things went well, and a video panel interview was set up for the next day with 2 team members and the manager. This was a great experience, and I got to feel out the vibe of the team and who I would potentially be working with. A few hours later, I had an offer! I love that the team was ultra-transparent, communicative, and moved so quickly. That's how an interview process should be conducted. They truly care about the candidate experience. Whether or not I left with an offer, I would have had a positive image of Compass because of how the interviewing team conducted themselves.

The interview process moved quickly, and I enjoyed speaking with everyone. However, I had four 30-minute conversations where they all asked the exact same questions. It felt like they weren't coordinating with each other, or I could have had all four of them in one 30-minute meeting and gotten the same outcome. Since I have a full-time job, I felt they didn't value my time or their own. Overall, it was a neutral experience.
