InEvent Interview Questions
& Process

I found the job opening online and applied for two positions because I have experience in both recruitment and L&D. My initial thought was to have a preliminary chat for both roles, and then the company could figure out the best fit. My first interview for the recruitment role went well. Two days later, I was scheduled for an L&D role interview with another recruiter. But, the day before, I got an automatic notification that the recruiter canceled the interview without any explanation. I believe it's basic courtesy for a candidate to know why an interview is canceled, especially if it's not being rescheduled. I was left wondering and had to reach out to find out. I was told that since I had already been assessed for the recruitment role, there was no need for another interview, and the previous interview would be used to assess me for the L&D role too. I'm quite sure the interview panel for the recruitment role wasn't aware I'd applied for the L&D role, and they didn't ask me any L&D-specific technical questions. Their questions were focused on technical recruitment. I didn't feel the need to bring it up because my understanding was that I already had a separate interview scheduled for the L&D role with a different recruiter. There's nothing wrong with undergoing a concurrent selection process for up to two roles within an organization. I would have expected the recruiting team to be more organized. You can't use one interview to assess for two distinct roles, especially when they are different job functions. I wasn't given a fair chance to demonstrate my experience for the L&D role because the scheduled interview never happened. There must have been a reason my profile was initially selected for an interview... Overall, I had a poor candidate experience with the process. It could have been managed better.

It was a pretty standard process. I applied online and was contacted by a Talent Acquisition Advisor who asked for my LinkedIn profile URL and to answer some questions, including my salary expectations. First, I interviewed with the Advisor to discuss my experience and suitability for the role. Then, I received a case study involving the InEvent software. I had to present how a customer could solve a problem using the platform, using provided FAQs and YouTube tutorials. This task seemed designed to assess my ability to learn and complete tasks independently, which proved useful later in the role. The next step was a meeting with the hiring manager, who was the HR (People & Culture) Manager. This part was more technical, requiring me to demonstrate my understanding of the role through scenario-based questions. I received an offer the following day. The entire process spanned about three weeks.

I saw this job on LinkedIn and applied. It took me to their website where I answered a few questions. A few days later, an HR rep contacted me for an interview, which I accepted. The interview went well and the HR lady was very kind. After the interview, I was given a test to complete. I did the test, and it turned out to have nothing to do with UI/UX Design. I asked the HR lady if she sent the wrong test, but she assured me it was correct. So I completed it and sent it back. After a week of no response, I sent a follow-up email and got an auto-reply stating I was not the right candidate. This is ridiculous because I was given a test unrelated to the job. It felt like I was doing work for them under the guise of a test. I suspect they lure candidates with good job descriptions and benefits to get them to do work that benefits the company. I won't apply to this company again.

First, you submit your application. If they like it, they'll email you asking for a video introduction. In the video, you gotta introduce yourself, talk about what you learned last year, and mention which department you're interested in. If they like your video, you'll have an interview with HR. After that, if it goes well, you'll get a task to do. Finally, you'll have a last interview with the manager of the department you picked.
