Hyland Project Manager Interview Questions
& Process

After a confusing interview, the Senior Project Manager decided against moving forward with my application. It seemed like the recruiter and interviewers weren't aligned, as if they were considering candidates for different roles. The lack of internal coordination raised some red flags.

I got recommended by someone inside. Had a phone interview, then an in-person that was 2 hours. First hour was meant to be a technical test but the computer didn't work, so I just chatted with HR and answered more questions. Second hour, met with 2 team leads. It's been 8 business days and no word. I've emailed the 2 HR contacts 3 times with no reply. They were super responsive before the interview. I'm guessing they're not moving forward but need to complete some paperwork before sending the rejection. The questions were really standard PM stuff. I was ready for some weird brain teaser or curveball, but they were just normal questions you'd find online for a project manager.

I had an interview with HR over the phone that just went over my skillset. Then I had an interview over Skype the beginning of December. I waited and waited and finally contacted them again and was told that the Christmas season had put a halt to things and that I would hear from them soon. Around the end of January, I was asked to fly in for an interview. They paid for the room and flight. They asked me to prepare a presentation. When I first got there, I was asked to take a computer skills test. It was pretty easy with questions like "what does HTML stand for?' and things like that. I had been an OnBase admin for the last 4 years so I did screenshots of the lastest workflow and unity forms I had built and presented that. There were only 2 people in the presentation and it wound up being more of a conversation. After the interview about a week later I was told they were starting on my background check that took over a week. Then they offered me the job of a technical consultant instead of a project manager. They wanted me to spend a year in the field before taking on a PM role. I agreed to it.
