It was a smooth, very well organised approachable & detailed interview process. I had 5 interviews (between 30 minutes and 1 hour each), with management team in Recruitment, one main stakeholder and the Recruitment VP. The information provided beforehand was very useful for preparation before each interview and I knew what to expect from each conversation.

I had four Zoom calls in total. One was with the hiring manager, two were with recruiters I would have been supporting, and the last one was with someone in a similar role at the company. Every meeting felt really informal and we talked a lot about my ideas on recruiting strategies, how I organize things, and my general approach to operations. It was great meeting people from different teams I would work with, and it gave me a good vibe about the company culture.

Scheduling the first call was rigid. Given my years of experience in coordination, I answered clearly and precisely. The recruiter came across as judgmental and passive-aggressive. I also did not receive any constructive feedback after being rejected.
