GQR Global Markets Interview Questions
& Process

It will be about 3-4 rounds with different managers in the department you’re being hired for. It will end in you giving a presentation of how well you did at your last company so be sure to have your bookings, and proof to show for it

I was first reached out by a recruiter on LinkedIn about a leadership opportunity. After a quick screening, I was supposed to interview with the CEO, but that got canceled last minute. HR then set me up with the Head of Revenue Operations. We had a Zoom chat and agreed to meet in person. But when I got to the office for our meeting, he was busy with sales kickoff prep and couldn't make it. So, I ended up being interviewed by two junior team members instead. They really grilled me on my recruiting skills like I was a junior recruiter, not someone with over a decade of experience managing large teams. It was a really bad experience, showing how disorganized and disrespectful they were of my time. Makes me wonder about their overall communication and professionalism. If you're looking for a senior role, be careful, the interview process might be a mess and not what they initially promise.

First, there was a prescreen with Talent that went great, my rep was nice and authentic. The next round was an interview with either the manager or director, though both interviews got rescheduled, we managed to work it out. The whole process was: 1. Prescreen with HR 2. Interview with Manager or Director 3. In person interview presentation. While the people seemed knowledgeable, the company culture didn't really vibe with me. They have standard hours of 8-5 but encourage working 8-7, especially for first-year recruiters to build connections, with uncapped bonuses. They also go out for drinks every Thursday. The company felt like a sorority/frat, which wasn't my scene. GQR seems good for entry-level people with a 1-month learning program, but it wasn't aligned with my work values. It's a good opportunity to get into recruiting though. The interview was pretty easy, just be friendly, talk about your experience, and how your skills apply to recruiting. They asked some weird questions like how friends would describe you and about your GPA.

I was headhunted on LinkedIn. First, there was a phone conversation with the team lead. Then, I had a phone call and exchanged emails with the internal recruiting team. After that, I had a phone call with the head of the office. Finally, there was a presentation where I had to lay out my first two years' plan, growth model, and collaboration opportunities. Honestly, the presentation and collaboration part was a turn-off. I know this is standard UK practice, but if you recruited them, you should be pitching to them, especially if you're trying to expand your US market.
