Gallup Coordinator Interview Questions
& Process

After filling out an online questionnaire that took about 30 minutes, I heard back from an interviewer in under a week. We scheduled a video interview that seemed to go well. The interviewer asked general questions about my background, aspirations, and ideal work environment. Following that, I had another video interview, and then an in-person meeting was arranged in DC. Prior to the in-person meeting, I had a prep call which was helpful in explaining what to expect and eased some of my pre-interview jitters. The three in-person interviews were supposed to last about 3 hours and included an Excel assessment. Technical issues delayed the assessment, pushing it to the end, which meant a 45-minute wait before the first interview. Even though I was in DC, I only met one person face-to-face; the other two interviews were conducted via video conference. The questions were consistent across all interviews and not particularly challenging. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and made me feel welcome.

The process started with some personality tests where I was told to just answer honestly. Then, I had a one-on-one with the talent acquisition manager. They were really good at digging into my answers and explaining the role, especially since the job description was pretty vague. They seemed interested and asked about other positions I was considering. They invited me to the next stage, though it took a while to schedule. They seemed keen, frequently asking about other offers I had, and I felt their interest throughout the interview. After completing their full application and two hours of interviews, I was rejected with no explanation after I followed up. It's understandable they can decide I'm not a fit, and I do have other offers, but I was surprised given their previous interactions. The hiring manager offered to talk the week after, but never responded or set up a call, even when I followed up mid-week. I've had many great interview experiences with other companies that were very transparent and communicative; Gallup seems a bit behind, more like interviews from years ago. Given their lack of respect for candidates by rejecting me via email after I chased them, and only after I reached the final stage, I feel like I might have dodged a bullet. I had thought about accepting their offer, even with another offer in hand. Their application was easy, but I'll hesitate to apply to Gallup again after this.

So, the interviews had a few parts: first, a recruiter call, then I had to do this StrengthsFinder Assessment thing, after that, I spoke with the hiring manager over the phone. Then I had another phone interview with a manager (they used Go To). The final stage was an in-person interview with three separate rounds, and they also had an Excel Assessment.
