First up is a quick 20-30 min phone chat with the internal recruiter. Then, there's a face-to-face interview that can run 1-2 hours, depending on how things flow, with the recruiter, two Directors, and the CEO. Finally, you'll need to do a presentation after about 1 hour of prep time, which will last at least 10 minutes, for the recruiter, two Directors, and the CEO.

Got an email from an assistant who found my resume on monster. Asked if I was interested and to send in my most updated resume. After sending my resume, I got a personality and IQ test, which I completed. The next day, I was contacted about a phone interview and we set it up for the same day. During the call, she asked me questions, and everything seemed great. At the end of the call, I got an email saying I was no longer being considered because I didn't have enough experience. I felt like it was a waste of my time because they should have seen from my resume that I didn't have experience in the field. I also think it was unfair to reject me for that reason, especially since the job description said no experience was needed as all training is provided before starting.

Behavioral Presentation

So basically, the interview process involves a couple of standard recruitment interviews. First, you'll have a recruitment call where they follow a script. After that, you need to prepare and deliver a presentation to about four of their employees. This presentation is specifically about compliance and risk.
