First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at IQAir.
Marketing Specialist
First, you apply by sending in your resume and stuff. Then, someone from the company, maybe HR, looks at all the applications to see who fits the basic requirements. If they like your application, they'll probably give you a call or video chat to see if you're really interested and can communicate okay. If that goes well, you'll have a more in-depth interview, either in person or over video. This could be with one person, a group, or even a few people at once. They'll check out your skills, see if you're a good fit personality-wise, and if you'd vibe with the company culture.

Business Development Manager
I got a message on linkedin about this role, they sent a job description and then we set up an initial meeting with HR. The HR person was upfront about the compensation, saying it was 85k with 1.5% commission, which I thought was low. The meeting felt weirdly structured, like I was leading the conversation. Then, about 20 minutes in, I found out it required being on-site, which wasn't mentioned in the job description at all. I checked again after I ended the interview early because that's a dealbreaker for me. So the compensation and the surprise commute requirement are why I'm not recommending it. It just doesn't make sense why they would...

PR Specialist
I appreciated they were very professional in coordinating all three interviews. The first interview was with the HR recruiter, the second interview with the PR Manager and the CEO, and lastly, there was a third interview with another HR person. Everything was pretty standard and straightforward. In the second interview, I did get the sense that people maybe walk on eggshells...Even though the CEO was sitting in on the interview and we did get formally introduced over the video call there wasn't really an opportunity to interact or greet the person since the interview kind of bullzoooed straight into asking questions. Not sure if this was just people being socially awkward or lacking basic etiquette but I took that as a small red flag, but it didn't scare me away. But the biggest indicator was my last interview. I found it bizarre that after meeting with the department head I was still given a third interview with another HR person. To begin with, the person didn't have the camera turned on and I made a light comment to ease both my nervousness and save face for the interviewer and the person acted like a big grump. As the interview went on I realized the person had not really done their homework when the person asked me if one of the positions on my resume was an internship (even though the date of my college graduation was from over 10 years ago), a quick LinkedIn search would have better prepared the interviewer to interview me. Secondly, the person became slightly contentious about my practices or understanding of social media. It got to the point where I did talk over the interviewer and shortly after that the interview did end. Slightly bizarre since the PR head and CEO didn't even do this...

Business Solutions Manager
My interview experience with IQair was quite unsettling, showing me some really concerning practices from them. I want to share this to give other candidates a heads-up. The interviewers were really into micromanaging, focusing on tiny details like the type of bullet I used, instead of my actual skills and experience. It made me doubt if they could really see my potential. Talking to the CEO was even worse; she was dismissive and condescending, often interrupting me and making my ideas seem unimportant. This attitude from the CEO really made me question if the company is collaborative and inclusive. On top of that, their communication was inconsistent. They expected quick replies from me for interviews and documents, but took ages to respond when I needed clarification or info. This lack of responsiveness and efficiency was a big red flag. Even though they offered me the job, I turned it down. The micromanagement, the CEO's attitude, and the communication problems made me too skeptical about the work environment. I felt accepting the offer would harm my professional growth and job satisfaction. Overall, the interview process highlighted issues like micromanagement, a dismissive CEO, and poor communication. I strongly advise candidates to be aware of these warning signs before considering IQair. It's important to find a workplace that values respect and clear communication.
