First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Compassion International.
Project Manager
I applied online and the next day, the hiring manager got my application from the recruiter. The day after that, the hiring manager sent me an invite for a HireVue interview. It's a one-way video interview where you get 3 questions. You get 1 minute to prep and then 3 minutes to record your answer. You can stop recording early if you're done.
- What draws you to Compassion and this position?
- Can you share an example of a successful project you managed? What factors led to its success, and what was your specific contribution?
- Project management is often described as having an artistic side (people) and a scientific side (processes). Do you identify more with the art or the science, and how do you leverage that in your project management approach?
Project Manager
Had an HR screening on the phone where they asked about my personal faith, then a hirevu video interview. After that, I had an interview with the manager about my skills and if I'd be a good cultural fit. Finally, there was a small panel interview with 3 potential colleagues and the manager.
- Can you share an instance where you had to explain to a client that their request was leading to scope creep and straining resources on the project? How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
Project Manager
It was an online video interview done asynchronously. I was given a prompt and had 1 minute to prep and 2 minutes to respond. No one was there in person, which felt strange talking to a screen. I couldn't re-record if I made a mistake.
- Can you describe your experience working with people from different countries?
