First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at IAA.
Loader Operator
The phone interview was pretty easy, the person I spoke with was really nice and communicated well. The whole process was fast and painless. I'd recommend this place to anyone I know looking for work.
- What qualifications do you have?
- Do you have any questions?
Total Loss Specialist
First, you'll speak with a recruiter, then interview with the hiring manager and a supervisor before they make you an offer. It was a fast and straightforward process. They initially place you in a temporary role before transitioning you to a permanent position later.
- Could you describe a situation using the STAR method?
Software Engineer
So the first thing was just a quick chat with HR, like a basic screening. After that, HR reached out to set up the next step. I tried to get some info on what to expect, like tips or the format, but they just said it would be technical and didn't give me much else. Then, the second round was with two senior folks. They asked some good questions. A mix of my past experience and some specific technical stuff about C#, Angular, and databases. To wrap it up, they threw a Leetcode-style problem at me and wanted me to walk them through the algorithm. I managed to explain the brute force way, even though I pointed out it wasn't the best solution. Honestly, I think interviewers should have a clearer process and share more details beforehand.
- Could you tell me about the databases you've worked with and your reasons for using them?
Human Resources
This was a super disorganized and long process with bad employer branding. The recruiter made me fill out a 6-page questionnaire, including salary details, before we even had a phone screen or talked at all, which is a terrible way to start. He then said it would take a couple of weeks and then ghosted me. I followed up, and he said it would take longer because the manager was away, and then a month later, I got a generic rejection email. They never even discussed the questionnaire or my application, offering no feedback. Apparently, HR reports to Legal, so it's not a strategic role, and the leadership has only ever worked here, lacking HR experience. A really poor candidate experience.
- Can you share your most significant HR achievement and why it was a career highlight?
- What is your approach to management?
- How would clients describe you in three words?
