Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was really nice and informative. I got constant updates from the hiring team, so I didn't have to reach out. It was during the summer holidays, so different people were involved, but the communication was still great, which impressed me.

I had a TEAMS interview with two people on the panel. It was about an hour long. The interview process was well laid out, and the interviewers took the time to tell me about the company, the job, and its responsibilities before we got into the questions.

Applied for a Recruiter role at GIST, which matched my Talent Acquisition Specialist background. Got an interview invite a few days later. It was a one-sided video interview with four pre-set questions. It felt weird and impersonal, not like a real interview where you can actually talk to someone. Still, I did it and gave feedback, saying it was bad because it was so impersonal. Soon after, I got an email saying I was moving on to the hiring manager, but then got rejected almost immediately. As someone with a Talent Acquisition background, this was disappointing and felt like unconscious bias. To make it worse, the rejection email offered 'detailed feedback' but said it could take 30 days due to 'high application volumes.' This whole recruitment process was messy and poorly done, not a good look for the company.

Group Presentation Behavioral
The interview had 3 main parts. First, there was a group exercise where we had to build a bridge using paper, cups, and other office supplies within a budget, and then justify our item choices based on price. Second, we had an individual presentation where we had to present a job-specific problem that we had prepared beforehand. Lastly, there were speed interviews with senior leaders, offering a chance to ask important questions and be evaluated by multiple interviewers.
